Supporters of organically grown food have long praised its better taste and health benefits, but now there is said to be proof that organic food is better for you.
A new study funded by the European Union has found organic produce has a higher nutritional value than ordinary food.
The four-year project found organic food has improved amounts of desirable fatty acids and antioxidants, particularly in milk.
The findings call into question the current stance of the Food Standards Agency, which is neither for nor against organic food.
