Supposedly they are grown without chemicals or pesticides. There is also the issue of genetically modified foods, which no one even knows yet whether or not they are bad for you. There have been some studies on rats that were fed GMO food and ended up dead. Organic is non-GMO.

How is organic food different from non-organic in cost quality and nutrients?

Organic foods generally cost more than non-organic foods because they are more labor intensive to grow.

There is a least some evidence that the nutrients in organic foods are greater than in their non-organic counterparts.

No, non-organic foods are not necessarily better than organic edibles.Specifically, the term better is personal unless it is qualified -- for example -- in terms of appearance, fragrance, nutrients, and taste.

Others seek the non-chemical, non-gentically-modified, non-synthetic procedures and processes behind organically-grown edibles.

The same elements as eating non-organic foods, less the pesticides, herbicides, preservatives, artificial colourings and flavourings and all the other chemicals used to make food appear visually attractive.

And, given that physics has shown that all matter is energy, organic foods surely have better energy than conventional produce.
