Organic Farming Is Bad for the Environment
- CuriouslyC 9y agoThis article is a straw man. The author is attacking conventional mass monoculture farms that meet watered down organic standards. Innovative organic farmers with polyculture farms using permaculture principles frequently achieve much higher yields per acre with greatly reduced inputs (including pesticides and fertilizers). The downside of these techniques is a larger labor requirement, though despite this these innovative farmers are actually more likely to be profitable than conventional farmers (who receive large subsidies).
