All agriculture, both organic and conventional, use pesticides and herbicides (most of the answerers are saying that organic farming does not use pest/herb -icides; they are wrong). The difference is that organic farming uses organic rather than artificial pesticides and herbicides. Organic proponents claim that organic pesticides and herbicides are less harmful for you than artificial pesticides and herbicides. There is no evidence to support this. Neither of them cause much of a problem because very little remains on the food when you eat it. Organic farming is also bad for the environment, contrary to what many proponents claim, because farmers have to plant more to make up for crops lost due to pests and disease. The result of more planting is more land use, which is always bad for the environment. Furthermore the U.S. standards for organic produce are very low, meaning that most "organic" produce is nearly identical to regular produce, except that it costs a lot more. So by buying organic food you are buying an identical product for more money. As a side note, most organic food you see in the stores are sold by the same companies that sell regular produce, so you are not supporting local farmers or anything like that when you buy organic. Either way the money goes to large corporations. Organic food is supposed to be healthier, but it isn’t.

Honestly, the best place to get organic foods are from farmers markets and/or organic food stores. You know your getting top quality that way. Also, I might add that I wouldn't buy 'Organic' labeled items from regular supermarkets. Since Organic is all the rave right now, generic brands have changed their packaging to promote it as organic, so you'll re-buy the product. Sneaky huh?

And they're better for the environment, the organisms, and the soil they're grown in.
