>>I have received this from 4 different sources ... unfortunately, this is the
>>battle that agro-industry is launching on the organic ag. community: a
>>competition to secure market space between biotech and organic food. Most of
>>the scientists against organic are former or current agro-industry employees
>>(or receiving funds for their projects). Accusations are not backed with
>>hard data to prove that organic food is dangerous, namely because it is

>>FAO is now in the process of writing a paper on Quality and Safety of
>>Organic Agriculture, to be presented to the 22nd FAO Regional Conference for
>>Europe in July 2000. I hope that it will be a critical and honest review
>>that will settle on-going polemics.
