We first should get a good definition of what "organic food" is, as currently (at least in Europe) is, more or less, equivalent to "crops grow using tradicional methods". The "tradicional methods" is very vague, but gets described in some laws. That's the main reason why is less efficient, is not using the latest improvements. "Organic food" is also an incredibly silly name, as there are no "inorganic food", but whatever. What is NOT guaranteed by those laws is that the food is: - More ecologically friendly (some tradicional pesticides or fertiliser are quite nasty, and you may need to use much more) - Better (either as more nutrients or tastier) - Locally produced (and Co2 emissions can be high when you purchase an organic crop produced in Australia) - Produced in small farms (there are big corporations as well) - Rigorously following the rules, as inspections are small Again, the key word here is GUARANTEED. Some organic farms may be doing things is a good way, but most are not improving anything, and there's nothing in the "organic food" industry as a whole that promotes a good analysis. Given that they are "tradicional methods", I find difficult to change into a more "let's try to improve farming into a more sustainable and less aggressive endeavour". Which I think is what we all want. And I think the "conventional farming" is, at least, in a better position to approach this problem.
