There are a lot of reasons why organic crops are better than conventional ones.  Organic crops have less pesticide and more nutrients.  Pesticides can be absorbed by fruits and vegetables and may leave small amounts of trace residues.  If you don’t feel so strongly about pesticide residues, you can still choose to eat conventionally grown crops.

In terms of nutrients, organic crops contain more levels of nutrients like Vitamin C, zinc and iron than its conventional counterparts.  Organically grown berries and corn contains 58% more polyphenols—antioxidants that can help prevent the risk of cardiovascular diseases—and up to 52% more levels of Vitamin C.

Organic techniques may yield superior produce compared to conventional methods.  One difference between the two methods is the fertility of the soil.  The composted soil used for growing organic crops contains nitrogen that is slowly released causing plant to grow at a normal rate.  Conventional methods for growing crops uses fertilizers that help the crops grow rapidly and allocates less energy for crops to develop nutrients.
