Is organic food really organically grown?

Organic Food

I usually buy organic food when possible.

But what are the guarantees that farmers don’t just put the label “Organic” and still use pesticides and herbicides?

I remember hearing the interview with one farmer on NPR. He said that organic label makes food more valuable so he just puts it and really grows organic once every 3 years when someone comes to check.

I don’t know how widespread such practice is.
