The NOFA Organic Land Care Program
Mission Statement The Mission of the NOFA Organic Land Care Program is to extend the vision and principles of organic agriculture to the care of the landscapes that surround us in our daily lives. Organic land care is a sustainable ecological landscaping system that promotes and enhances biodiversity, biological cycles, and soil biological activity. It is based on minimal use of off-site inputs and on management practices that restore, maintain, and enhance ecological harmony and beauty in urban and suburban landscapes and gardens. "Organic" means landscaping with no synthetic pesticides of any kind (insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, etc.) and with no synthetic fertilizers or soil amendments. Basic Principles of Organic Land Care (Adapted from the "Principles of Organic Agriculture," International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements [IFOAM]) 1. Principle of health. Organic land care should sustain and enhance the health of soil, water, air, plant, animal, human, and planet as one and indivisible. 2. Principle of ecology. Organic land care should be based on ecological systems and cycles and should work with them, emulate them, and help sustain them. 3. Principle of care. Organic land care should be managed in a precautionary and responsible manner to protect the health and well-being of current and future generations and the environment. 4. Principle of fairness. Organic land care should build on relationships that ensure fairness with regard to the common environment and life opportunities. Fairness is characterized by equity, respect, justice, and stewardship of the shared world, both among people and in their relationships to other living beings. |

These principles are closely interrelated.
Health is the maintenance of human physical and mental wellness, and social and ecological well being. Organic land care fosters healthy ecosystems, which include the smallest soil microorganisms, plants, and animals, including human beings. The sustained health of the planet depends on ecological diversity, resilience, and sustainability of ecosystems. Organic land care practitioners strive to avoid pollution in establishing and caring for landscapes. Ecology is the study of relationships among living things in a community. Organic land care uses ecological principles to sustain the health of plants and soils. Practices that enhance communities of living organisms and biological cycles are site specific. In nature, ecosystems sustain themselves with no intervention. We try to mimic these systems in our managed landscapes. When inputs are needed, e.g., soil amendments, renewable materials from local sources are preferred. Organically managed landscapes are designed to protect the diversity of the land and its surroundings, such as native plants and wildlife habitats. |
