I think the logic goes like this: nowadays, people don't want chemicals in their food. 有机牛奶，有机蔬菜， 有机肉， 等等。These are considered 'good'. By association, 有机 has acquired a by-meaning of 'good'. Therefore, '不是两难，而是有机结合‘ means 'is not a dilemma, but a good combination'

<p>If there are two things that appear irrelevant or sometimes even opposite to each other, and you managed to couple or combine them with effort, and the coupling or combination produces beneficial effects, you may say you get "有机结合" of the two things.</p>

<p>We also use "有机结合" to describe a successful application of a technology in some certain field.</p>

So what is being combined? The hands and the brain are, quite literally, 'organically linked'. You would write 'successfully linked' for ‘有机结合’？？

有机 literally means organic.

English word "organic" have several meanings/usages. 有机 equals to (most of) them.

> 1 relating to or derived from living matter: organic soils.
>
> • Chemistry relating to or denoting compounds containing carbon (other than simple binary compounds and salts) and chiefly or ultimately of biological origin. Compare with inorganic.
>

>
> 4 denoting or characterized by a harmonious relationship between the elements of a whole: the organic unity of the integral work of art.
>
> • characterized by gradual or natural development: the organic growth of community projects.

I can't say for meaning (3), but 有机 is the same as organic in the rest three of organic's meanings.

The meaning of 有机 in the example in organic meaning 4.
