Oh I know that *some* 'chemicals' are allowed on organic. The range is exceedinly limited and they are not routinely applied. Indeed I know from one organic farmer (Soil Association accredited) that he can't even use those unless he has prior permission from the SA and he has to justify the use of a 'chemical' So overall there is far, far less dependence upon 'chemical' fertilisers/pesticides/herbicides etc than in modern industrial farming. Organic famring methods are sustainable far more than our more industrial non-organic farming.
*I use the term 'chemical' as everything is a chemical, even good old water, but I'm simply using the term in a loose way to differentiate conveniently between organic & non-organic farming methods.
