Many think organic food is safer because they have less pesticide residue. Organic farming reduces fossil fuel usage and these methods promote the conservation of water and soil and reduce pollution ("Organic Food Movement Gains Prominence."). The Soil and Water Conservation Society says that herbicide-based, low- and no-tillage cropping systems are the most sustainable ever
