* 'In-conversion' refers to farm land in the process of converting to full organic farm use. Furthermore the source states: "In most cases land must be managed organically for a minimum of two years (three years for top fruit orchards) before it is granted approved 'organic' status and is eligible for organic certification. Producers can then sell their produce as 'organic' and organic livestock breeding can commence." Organic land area is defined by the source as fully organic area.
