They are not neccessarily better.
It is a fact that chemical fertilisers and pesticides can leave residues and organic produce is probably healthier, but, with organic produce only we could not feed the world.

Specifically, organic treatments involve the use of products that are animal- and plant-based. Chemical treatments owe their existence to non-organic, synthetic products that are laboratory-produced. The former tries to problem-solve by respecting balance and well-being whereas the latter often is represented as emphasizing whatever produces lots of super-lush saleable items super-fast.
