We had some really great threads last year, with the following four nominated for the Thread of the Year award in this January's Environment Site Awards ceremony.
A new study from Denmark has added to debate about whether organic food is healthier than conventionally grown, as it concludes there is no evidence in favour of the argument.

Is there any evidence at all that organic food is healthier than non-organic? I mean in any way, not just nutrients (lack of herbicides/pesticide residues perhaps?)
There is also evidence out there, from scientific research conducted at the University of Copenhagen, that organic food is no better than food grown with chemical inputs (pesticides, etc), in terms of having a higher nutritional value, for example...How does organic taste?
Extra nutrients in organic food?
