Food safety advocate Maria Santos argues that organic farming should be mandatory for all agricultural production. She states: 'Conventional farming uses synthetic pesticides that have been linked to cancer, neurological disorders, and environmental contamination. Organic produce contains higher levels of antioxidants and nutrients compared to conventionally grown food. Additionally, organic farming practices preserve soil health and protect beneficial insects like bees. Studies show that organic farms support 30% more biodiversity than conventional farms. With mounting evidence of the dangers of synthetic chemicals and the clear benefits of organic methods, continuing to allow conventional farming practices is irresponsible and threatens public health.'
Which critical gap in Santos's reasoning most significantly weakens her argument for mandatory organic farming?
