Where in that link does it say that organic techniques use fewer pesticides? Organic farming is restricted to naturally occurring pesticides which are often less effective than synthetic ones and so they need to be applied more often. Also, organic yields are often lower than conventional ones, so more land may be needed to compensate. Clearing land is way more environmentally unfriendly than using pesticide, so any gains from organic techniques are nullified. But i guess it depends on crop/climate and exact techniques [0]http://www.science20.com/agricultural_realism/example_how_much_pesticides_have_changed-127931 http://www.science20.com/agricultural_realism/example_how_mu...
