http://orgprints.org/19/ Food safety in an organic perspective Kristensen, Erik Steen Alrøe, Hugo Fjelsted Hansen, Birgitte Food security, food quality and human health Values, standards and certification The holistic perspective of organic farming implies a broader conception of food safety that includes both product safety and agri-food system safety. The credibility of organic food can only be maintained if the organic agri-food system is developed in correspondence with the basic organic principles. In this way it will be possible to show the whole organic agri-food system as a safer alternative to conventional farming. Thereby trust will be supported in organic foods despite the sparse (and often unattainable) hard scientific evidence that organic food is healthier.
