From BakeryInfo.co.uk:

A new study has claimed that the environmental impact of the production, packaging and distribution of organic bread is far less than that of conventional bread, with organic bread emitting as much as a quarter less CO2 into the atmosphere.

The research, conducted by the Öko-Institut in Freiburg, Germany, was part of comprehensive research into greenhouse emissions by calculating the CO2 equivalent of foodstuffs.

It found that all organic foods have a better CO2 balance than conventional products, but organic wheat bread was found to cause 25% less CO2 emissions than conventional wheat bread per kilogram of product.
