"Market will decide", as if.
Governments can (and some do) help to bootstrap a saner "organic" economic landscape by creating demand through regulations such as "school restaurants food should be 50% local and organic by 2020, 100% by 2030".
- yoz-y 10y agoGovernment could do that, but it should only be necessary if the claims that "you can produce more calories per acre of organic food compared to traditional agriculture" are false. If it is cheaper to produce more, of more expensive produce, you can bet that the agriculture industry will shift.
