In part of James Tapp's investigation into the organics bill, James talks to Julian Heyes, the head of school of food and advanced technology. Julian is a professor of postharvest technology. Last week James talked to Andrea Braakhuis, an academic researcher in nutrition at the University of Auckland, which gave him insight into the nutritional value of organics. By talking to Julian, James wants to find out about the differences between conventional and organic farming, as well as what sort of regulations could come into play from a farming perspective. While James asks a number of the same questions to both interviewees, both gave varying answers focusing on different areas. James starts off by asking Julian what defines a product as organic.
