Organic farming is meant to maintain soil and water while reducing pollution. Organic farmers do not utilize traditional methods to nourish their plants or control weeds. Instead, employ natural fertilizers and weed management practices such as crop rotation.

Therefore, the results herein show no generalizable superiority of organic over conventional foods.” A pretty damning conclusion.
