Here in the US specifically, 'Organic' is just more green washing, big Ag market cornering, advertising/propaganda dribble. The governing body of the certification and labeling, the Usda, has made it rather challenging for small farmers to obtain it let alone maintain compliance in order to keep the label. Yet, organic big Ag is where we are seeing the consistent ecoli and other relative outbreaks. When it comes to pesticides, if you do your homework, you will see a plethora of them that are OMRI compliant that definitely should not be.
