Your linked source is specific to Europe which tends to have much stronger regulations on pesticides. While the parent didn't state it explicitly I believe their statement was about the US since - yea, in America the organic label doesn't change the volume of pesticides you can use but rules out some of them.
The best tactic you can follow in the US is to try and buy imported produce from countries with stricter pesticide laws.
- toshk 4y agoWell this is about soil, it might also just be that organic pesticides break down better. I don't know much about the US rules. But I also know here it's popular to say "well just because it's organic, doesn't mean it's without pesticides". But in general the few times I've checked different researches on pesticide residue organic scores consistently better.
