Whether organic food is scalable or not depends entirely on what kind of food is being grown and what sort of land it is being grown on. If you read Seeing Like a State, you'll note that "modern" Western farming techniques actually produce worse yields than traditional "organic" farming techniques. Lots of soils simply can't sustain the extremely intensive monocropping that the western farming tradition requires. If we want to really have a second green revolution, we're going to have to start looking at organic farming techniques to make marginal lands agriculturally viable.
