Like this excellent post says: It’s time to get beyond debates about  “organic” vs “conventional” and move toward developing an agriculture that is better than either: highly productive while at the same time highly sustainable, good for our health and good for the planet, wisely using resources while getting food equitably to poor and rich.  This is a reachable goal, but not if we get mired down in debating categories.  I like a lot of things about organic farming, but it’s not a cure-all. GMO is not a cure-all. Local farming is not a cure-all. Industrial agriculture is not a cure-all. We need to use the best of each.
