Although IFOAM has no official position on the quality of organic food,
it's easy to conclude that the overall nutritional and health-promoting
value of food is compromised by farming methods that utilize synthetic
fertilizers and toxic pesticides. It has also been demonstrated quite
widely that micronutrients and trace elements are more likely to be
present in organic foods, plant physiology is respected, the better
nutrition of meats exhibiting lower levels of polysaturated fats and
the exclusion of heavy metals and cancerous pesticide residues, just to
name a few examples, all lead to higher quality food products.
On this page you will find links to major research organizations undertaking groundbreaking work on the quality of organic food.
