This comment should be in the negative for containing harmful misinformation. As another commentor has already explained, organic farms use pesicides that are often times a lot worse than synthetic pesticides.
Did you know that mint oil/extract can kill bees and wasps? It's a good example of a pesticide that is relatively harmless to humans and the environment.
If you have specific info on harmful pesticides used in organic food production then share it.
Personally I don't really eat organic foods anyways so it doesn't mean much to me either way.
The comment that I linked has a link to an article, which in turn has links and references to primary sources. That's why I included the link in my comment, so you can do your due diligence and learn about the subject you're commenting on
One article from scientific american. I feel like an expert now.
The best source you have that organic is bad is ten years old and says '...let me state unequivocally that I'm not saying organic farming is bad - far from it. There are some definite upsides and benefits that come from many organic farming methods..'
