    Just wondering, because a 2003 report by Afssa (the French food health agency) concludes that generally, there is very little significant and reproducible difference between the chemical composition of raw materials coming from conventional or organic agriculture.
    “The numerous factors involved in the chemical composition and nutritional value of foodstuffs (variety/race, season, climate, stage of maturity or development, time of storage,…..) are often more important than the impact of factors strictly linked to type of agriculture ( nature of fertilizer, sanitary treatments..).”
