The article states "...organic food is so much worse for the climate is that the yields per hectare are much lower, primarily because fertilisers are not used." It uses this metric to assume organic agriculture increases deforestation and is thus worse for the environment.
The flaw in this reasoning? Fertilizer manufacture is responsible for the majority of our current atmospheric CO2 emissions.
