Organic describes the natural growing of a plant without adding pesticides, GMO's etc. So organic fruits and vegetables were there long before conventional fruits and veggies were. It's quite shocking that organic foods are more expensive hence they are not loaded with pesticides and GMO's. The lower prices of conventional foods is due to multinational companies in control and in power. They don't care about nutrition values but more about growing food rapidly fast and cheap and in huge amounts. Nutritional value is obviously higher in organic foods, because they are natural.
