Organic food has a higher nutritional value than ordinary produce, a study by Newcastle University has found.
A team grew fruit, vegetables and reared cattle on adjacent organic and non-organic sites across Europe.
They found up to 40% more antioxidants could be found in organic fruit and vegetables than in non-organic.
The team said the findings call into question the current stance of the Food Standards Agency (FSA), which is neither for nor against organic food.
