Efforts of associations or companies for a green world

Organic agriculture is a method of agricultural production and transformation that combines the best environmental practices with more natural manufacturing processes. "Producing organically" means meeting the basic needs of the population in an innovative and modern way, reconciling Man with Nature to be able to identify a sustainable product there are seals and ecological certifications recognized worldwide or nationally, which endorse its sustainability depending on the industry in question. In order to be able to buy this type of products in a responsible way, it is important to be well informed to be able to recognize and distinguish these seals.

There are already Latin American associations that support the cause of demanding justice for the rights of the environment and farmers, such as CIM Comercio Justo México:

A civil association that standards and promotes fair trade products and services from small Mexican producers for the benefit of their social, economic and environmentally sustainable development, in a relationship of solidarity with consumers.

The CIM seal guarantees: that the consumer is acquiring a product with certified quality, that the small producer is receiving a fair price for his product and that the product was elaborated taking care of and preserving nature.

Another Latin American company that acts for a sustainable world is Ecocert Peru:

Convinced that organic production is a viable long-term answer to the economic, ecological and social challenges of agriculture worldwide, we have been working for its expansion for the past 30 years. Ecocert has contributed to the development of the first organic standards and continues to be an authority on the subject with French and international bodies.

On the other hand, there is an example of a well-known company that uses C.A.F.E. Coffee and Farmer Equity Practices such as Starbucks:

Development of socially responsible coffee purchasing parameters, called C.A.F.E Practices. These parameters are designed to work with producers to ensure a high quality in their production and at the same time promote equitable relations with the coffee growers, with the communities and with the environment. The C.A.F.E. Practices general evaluation guidelines are a set of environmental, social and economic criteria to be evaluated in the management of coffee farms and coffee farms. Thanks to this program, Starbucks stores around the world acquire high quality coffee produced in a responsible manner.

In short, obtaining a green building certification brings numerous benefits to the building's users, the construction team and the planet. The environmental benefits of certification depend on the certification, but can include such things as reduced water and energy consumption and waste generation, as well as the use of healthy, natural building materials with less environmental impact. People's health and comfort are also often a priority in these certifications, as exposure to environmental hazards is reduced and environmental amenities such as natural light and green spaces are provided. In the long run, efforts to design a more efficient and comfortable building translate into increased property value and significant economic savings in services.
