I would say organic is closer to following the precautionary principle


I would most certainly not say that.

The precautionary principle lies within Integrated Farming, because it is highly adaptable.

There are harmful insecticides being used in organic farming, and the avoidance of synthetic fungicides allows for higher levels of some dangerous fungal toxins in food.

If a fungus-resistant GMO variety were available, organic farmers could then avoid the use of fungicides altogether. But GMOS are completely of of question in OF. Why? Because it is artificial, and that's the end of it.
