Abstract
Although the consumption of organic food is increasing in Europe and other parts of the world, it is still a minor option. The total agriculture land used for organic production in Europe is less than 6% and less than 1% worldwide. Contrary to what most consumers think there is no scientific evidence to support the claim that organic food has better nutritional value or that its production is more sustainable. In addition, productivity is very low and concomitantly the price is higher. This report reviews the presence of pseudoscience and the exclusion of technology from the European organic regulations and proposes some improvements that would help to make organic food production a real alternative and attain its objectives of providing healthier and sustainable food production.
