        Carbon footprint of small scale organic farming is high when transport to market is factored in.

        They are better for the health of the people who grow our food though.

        Organic actually use more (organic) pesticides and fertiliser inputs, produce more runoff waste, and are less efficient at producing food (which means more marginal land has to be converted to cropping to get the same output). It’s not clear at all that organic is better.

        At the same time, the organic chickens where I live are a different breed and actually taste better than the bland chickens with giant dry breasts.

        The amounts you ingest from conventionally farmed foods are in the 1 in 1,000,000,000 gram range, so no not really. As people like to say, the dose makes the poison

        How is organic better for the environment? As I understand, organic farming produces less yield per land area => more disruption to natural life from “clearing” lands for crops. (This is supported by various studies AFAIK)
