The other comments point out that you skipped or ignored the relevant sections of the paper, but you also missed this in the abstract:
> Organic farming is less polluting than conventional farming when measured per unit of land but not when measured per unit of output. Organic farming, which currently accounts for only 1% of global agricultural land, is lower yielding on average. Due to higher knowledge requirements, observed yield gaps might further increase if a larger number of farmers would switch to organic practices.
In other words, forcing a ton of farmers to switch to organic farming over night would almost certainly lead to them being much less efficient than average organic farmers.
