The UK organization SOIL ASSOCIATION approved air freight for organic produces. This is against the primary meaning of "Organic" and "Bio" mutating so the meaning to a healthy product, without any gain on protecting environment, compared with conventional produces.
Considering the efforts to protect the climate, air freight cannot be linked to a holistic way of life.
A new definition should be created:
ORGANIC(English) BIO (German): The produces following the EU organic regulation. They are sold on supermarkets and have high carbon footprints.
NATURE FOOD (English) NATURKOST (GERMAN: Vegetables, fruits and meat produced in a holistic way, at small farms. They are sold at the farm or small local stores.
