Actually, the Department of Agriculture has to cetify you and the land has to be left out for 3 yrs or so and in some states tested for residue. So there are controls.

OTH, the reason the world continues to grow and thrive is non-organic agriculture. One of the reasons we're living longer is the abundance and safety of food, which could never be accomplished without conventional farming. Another reason to eschew organic is the natural fungi and diseases which killed so many people in the past. A while back when organic was just getting popular, the developed a potato that naturally repeled bugs, the only problem was the potato itself was then poisonous. Oraganic is just a bunch of hooie made up by the hippies with no research.
