Organic food still uses pesticides, not only that but the yield is significantly below traditional farming and thus uses more land, which is more detrimental to biodiversity. Please show me a peer reviewed study published in a reputable journal that supports the claim that organic food is higher standard and more nutritious than non organic food.
