The outline first lists aspects of organic produce (no artificial pesticides, no artificial fertilizers, no GMOs, higher antioxidants) and then lists corresponding aspects of conventional produce (artificial pesticides, artificial fertilizers, GMOs can be used, lower antioxidants). This is a point - by - point comparison as each characteristic (pesticides, fertilizers, GMOs, antioxidants) is compared one - by - one for both organic and conventional produce.
