Produits d'origine végétale, pesticides et contaminants dans l'alimentation : quel rôle de l'agriculture biologique ?

Baudry, Julia ; Rebouillat, Pauline LU orcid and Kesse-Guyot, Emmanuelle (2021) In Cahiers de Nutrition et de Dietetique 56(6). p.368-376
Abstract

Flexitarian and vegetarian diets are of growing interest in France. While the nutritional profiles of individuals with high intakes of plant products are well characterized, exposure to pesticide residues and chemical contaminants are less documented. Moreover, higher consumption of organic products has been associated with higher consumption of plant products. Organic agriculture differs from its conventional counterpart since it bans the use of synthetic pesticides and considerably limits the use of inputs. These differences result in lower levels of pesticide residues and certainly cadmium in organic plant products compared to conventional products, while more data are needed to establish whether the levels of nitrates, mycotoxins...

Flexitarian and vegetarian diets are of growing interest in France. While the nutritional profiles of individuals with high intakes of plant products are well characterized, exposure to pesticide residues and chemical contaminants are less documented. Moreover, higher consumption of organic products has been associated with higher consumption of plant products. Organic agriculture differs from its conventional counterpart since it bans the use of synthetic pesticides and considerably limits the use of inputs. These differences result in lower levels of pesticide residues and certainly cadmium in organic plant products compared to conventional products, while more data are needed to establish whether the levels of nitrates, mycotoxins and certain metals differ between organic and conventional products. Consumption of organic products reduces exposure to synthetic pesticide residues in individuals following vegetarian diets.
