VEGANIC

What is veganic?
‘Veganic’ is a combination of two words ‘vegan’ and ‘organic’. It’s a guarantee that food is grown in an organic way with only plant-based fertilizers. It encourages functional biodiversity. No chemicals, no GMO, no pesticides and no animal by-products in any part of the chain.

Veganic food is resilient to the largest problems facing humanity i.e. environmental destruction, pollution of the sea and air and soil erosion. In essence, veganic is a logical step beyond organic for those who seek safe food grown in a sustainable manner.   ~ from the Veganic Organic Network website.

Veganic is, generally, how things are described for consumers.
Stock-free is how farmers describe the system.

Stockfree Organic
Stockfree Organic agriculture proves itself to use less land, water and fossil fuel resources than livestock dependent systems. The earth’s current period of development has been coined the ‘anthropocene’ – a time when virtually all planetary ecosystems are being affected by, and in many cases seriously degraded by human activity. Food produced on stockfree organic farms is more resilient to the largest problem facing humanity; climate instability.

Vegan Organic / Veganic / Stock-Free
"While both veganic and organic agriculture are distinct from conventional agriculture in that they avoid the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and GMOs, organic agriculture often relies on farmed animal inputs such as manures, bone meal, blood meal, feather meal and fish emulsion. Veganic agriculture takes organic agriculture a step further by eliminating farmed animal inputs, and instead sourcing soil fertility directly from plants– often in the form of green manures or compost." ~ from Veganic World FAQ's

Veganism
* The definition of veganism is clearly stated on The Vegan Society website as... "Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms, it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals."
