The UK Food Standards Agency report on the health benefits of organic versus conventional food
August 3, 2009
With regard to the findings of the UK Food Standard Agency (FSA) report published in the the world's media in recent days please refer to the links below that provide sound responses to the claim that organic food is no healthier than conventional food. The study totally avoided the issue of pesticides and took a very narrow view of 'health'.
We encourage you use these links to inform your regional stakeholders and media of not only the limitations and misrepresentations of the study but of the overall benefits of organic food and farming for the health of consumers, farmers, animals, climate and our ecosystem as a whole.
The International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM) commends the work of the worldwide organic movement in its promotion and defence of the important benefits of organic food and farming.
