Key components of the Veriflora program are fair labor practices, sustainable crop production, waste management and the conservation of resources. Growers are limited in the agrochemicals they use, and are required to safely store hazardous wastes and materials in accordance with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, as well as move towards traditional organic certification [ [http://veriflora.org/about.asp VeriFlora - About the Program ] ] .
