Conclusion
It is a pseudoscientific falsehood to claim that organic farming does not use pesticides. Organic farming uses a lot of different pesticides, including compounds that include heavy metals such as copper, zinc, manganese, selenium and iron. In addition to pesticides, there are dozens and dozens of other chemicals that are allowed in organic farming for a wide range of purposes. There is no aspect of organic farming that is free of chemicals. This is true for crop production, livestock production and general organic farming practices. Perhaps most ironically, even synthetic, non-agricultural and non-organic substances are allowed in organic farming. Thus, scientific reality offers a stark contrast to organic advertisement and misinformation.
