Less pesticides in U: Many organic fruits and vegetables are sprayed with pesticides in order to get them to market. That isn't washed off and can actually be ingested by you. This can also affect your gut lining. Organic farming do not use any form of pesticides, so that when you eat the fruit or vegetable, it is pesticide-free,ie. SAFER. Look at EWG.org's Dirty Dozen. Stay away from those fruits and veggies period.

Controversial.: Despite claims that organic food is safer, more nutritious, and tastes better than conventional food, there is no good evidence to support this and there will likely never be. Too many confounding variables and the difference if any is likely very small. Best to use your money to eat a healthy and nutritionally balanced diet and to wear knee pads and a helmet.

Depends. : The fruit has the same benefits of vitamins and fiber etc. but some people feel that organic fruits and vegetables have less toxic pesticides on them so you consume less. Organic farmers use pesticides that are felt to be safer. But is unclear how much pesticide humans actually consume from the food and whether those small amounts have any actual effect on you.
