Best Answer

"Organically grown" food is food grown and processed using no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. Pesticides derived from natural sources (e.g., biological pesticides) may be used in producing organically grown food.

The exact definition of what may be deemed "organic" differs between different countries and also for specific food types. Usually before farmers can claim to be producing organic food they need to register and gain approval from the relevant governing body.
