Parents of young children, and even some pet owners, will pay high prices for organic food if they think it's healthier. But many others think organic food is just a waste of money. There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals such as pesticides that stop insects from damaging crops. In many countries foods that claim to be organic must have special labels that guarantee they're grown organically. Non-organic is essentially the opposite of all of the above. Non-organic food may be produced using farming practices that are not organic, including using chemical fertilizers and insecticide to encourage plants to grow and limit disease and pests.
