Summary in the original language of the document

The decision whether to manage agriculture according toorganic farming principles or conventional farming is aquestion bigger than scientific inquiry; it constitutes a polit-ical question. Similarly, deciding the regulations governingorganic and conventional production does not fall within thepursuit of science. Rather, science should show how differentmanagement practices influence the environment. The regula-tory framework of organic farming is derived from normativevalues rather than scientific principles, which now categorizesthe production.
