Food security, nutritional quality and safety vary widely around the world. Reaching these three goals is one of the major challenges for the near future. Up to now, industrialized production methods have clearly shown severe limitations such as a worldwide contamination of the food chain and water by persistent pesticide residues, and reduced nutrient and flavor contents through low-cost intensive food production and/or processing. In line with several published literature reviews, the French Agency for Food Safety (AFSSA) performed under my coordination an up-to-date exhaustive and critical evaluation of the nutritional and sanitary quality of organic food. This review is based on the AFSSA report issued and recently published studies. The major points are: 1/ organic plant products contain more dry matter and minerals (Fe, Mg); and contain more anti-oxidant micronutrients such as phenols and salicylic acid, 2/ organic animal products contain more polyunsaturated fatty acids, 3/ data on carbohydrate, protein and vitamin levels are insufficiently documented, 4/ 94–100% of organic food does not contain any pesticide residues, 5/ organic vegetables contain far less nitrates, about 50% less; and 6/ organic cereals contain overall similar levels of mycotoxins as conventional ones. Thus, organic agricultural systems have already proved able to produce food with high quality standards. I propose also improvements of organic production to achieve sustainable food production for humans in the near future.

有机食品的营养质量和安全性。回顾

粮食安全，营养质量和安全在世界范围内差异很大。实现这三个目标是近期的主要挑战之一。迄今为止，工业化的生产方法已明确显示出严重的局限性，例如全球范围内持久性农药残留污染了食物链和水，并通过低成本的集约化食品生产和/或加工降低了营养和风味成分。根据几篇已发表的文献评论，法国食品安全局（AFSSA）在我的协调下对有机食品的营养和卫生质量进行了详尽而详尽的评估。此次审查基于AFSSA发布的报告和最近发表的研究。要点如下：1 /有机植物产品含有更多的干物质和矿物质（铁，镁）；并包含更多的抗氧化剂微量营养素，例如酚和水杨酸； 2 /有机动物产品包含更多的多不饱和脂肪酸； 3 /碳水化合物，蛋白质和维生素含量的数据记录不足； 4 / 94-100％的有机食品没有含有任何农药残留，5 /有机蔬菜中的硝酸盐含量要低得多，约少50％；6 /有机谷物中的霉菌毒素含量总体上与传统谷物相似。因此，已经证明有机农业系统能够生产高质量标准的食品。我还建议改善有机生产，以在不久的将来实现人类的可持续粮食生产。蛋白质和维生素含量不足，4 / 94–100％的有机食品不含任何农药残留，5 /有机蔬菜中的硝酸盐含量低得多，约低50％；6 /有机谷物中的霉菌毒素含量总体上与传统谷物相似。因此，已经证明有机农业系统能够生产高质量标准的食品。我还建议改善有机生产，以在不久的将来实现人类的可持续粮食生产。蛋白质和维生素含量不足，4 / 94–100％的有机食品不含任何农药残留，5 /有机蔬菜中的硝酸盐含量低得多，约低50％；6 /有机谷物中的霉菌毒素含量总体上与传统谷物相似。因此，已经证明有机农业系统能够生产高质量标准的食品。我还建议改善有机生产，以在不久的将来实现人类的可持续粮食生产。有机农业系统已经被证明能够生产高质量的食品。我还建议改善有机生产，以在不久的将来实现人类的可持续粮食生产。有机农业系统已经被证明能够生产高质量的食品。我还建议改善有机生产，以在不久的将来实现人类的可持续粮食生产。
