Organic Myth Busting

There is much published information on organics - a wealth of books, articles, papers and comment both in favour of, and opposed to, organics. Many of the claims surrounding organics are hotly contested. A self proclaimed advocate of organics, Dr Oliver Moore is an author, academic, journalist, blogger and all round organic know-it-all. We gave Ollie a mission - to separate fact from fiction. In a series of columns, he sets about uncovering the truth about some of the more contentious claims:

Is it more expensive?

Is it better for you?

Can it feed the world?

Is it better for the climate?

Is it more nutritious?

How can you trust what you get is organic?
