The "natural" pesticides used by organic farming can also bioaccumilate, that doesn't sound like good soil management to me. [1] As for the rest of it: it doesn't really matter what's possible in theory. Research is awesome and should continue. But like I said, we're losing dozens of species per day. We have to choose whatever is most cost and land-efficient today (else people will starve). It's true that some organic crops are sometimes environmentally better. But the only question is how much better or worse it is today, on average. Unless you have a cheap and effective way that will guarantee that certain standards are maintained on 90% of the organic farms on the planet. I don't know of such a mechanism. Costs will be minimized and rules that decrease yield will be skirted. A global carbon tax and some sort of land use tax (I don't know how else natural land could be protected) would solve most of these problems but I don't see that happening anytime soon.
