To feed the world, we need to get rid of Monsanto’s pesticided patented seeds and get on with diversified sustainable organic agriculture.

A friend commented about Organic farming better for bottom line:

Devil’s advocacy: yields from organic agriculture are lower than from artificially fertilised + pesticide’d crops; therefore, the practice tends to increase food prices; therefore, organic food means starvation for people who would otherwise eat. Discuss!

Nope, that’s simply not true. Organic farming yields more, in addition to being more profitable, healthier, and tastier.

• Fewer pesticides for higher yields: if they can do it in west Africa…

• More profit and higher yields through organic farming in India

• Organic Farming Yields often Better Than with Agrochemicals
