There's no solid evidence that organic foods are healthier than those produced conventionally; according to a review of several studies, despite the widespread perception that organically produced foods are more nutritious than conventional alternatives.
The benefits to organic food are beyond health and nutrition. People who grow organic food treat the Earth with respect – no chemicals and no toxic fertilizer running into the rivers; people who grow organic food are in harmony with nature while conventional farming rapes the Earth of her produce.
The gender of the Earth is female; and she gladly gives of her produce in great abundance – but, if cajoled by drugs and plowed relentlessly, she will give even more than her yield. The organic farmer blesses the land, respects the natural process and accepts what is offered by the Earth.
The Torah/Teaching is full of references to the land and promises of plentitude; if the people obey the heavenly law then rain and dew will be abundant – and if the people pray to God, then God will answer through the fecund earth. Treat the Earth well and she will treat you well.
The Cabala considers the Earth as the physical manifestation of Shakina/Dwelling, the female representation of the presence of God who hovers upon the Earth. The Talmud-Book of Law warns agains kicking the Shakina least unleashing the fury of HaKodesh Boracho/The Hidden He.
