by Elizabeth Shaw Anne Marie Minihane D. Ian Givens Samantha BaxterPublic concern over impacts of chemicals in plant and animal production on health and the environment has led to increased demand for organic produce, which is usually promoted and often perceived as containing fewer contaminants, more nutrients, and being positive for the environment.
