What is Organic?

With all this gardening lately, I've started wondering. I hear people talk about ORGANIC and how it's better for me, but what does it mean to be organic? Food wise, that is.

There is lots of information out there (which I myself have not delved into yet). I did however, find this article that does a good job summarizing it, but also gives links to expanded information if you feel inclined to read on.

Sustainable Baby Steps has some answers.
