from Farm Bill 2012: Time For An Overhaul With Innovative Farming Systems

Agriculture giant Cargill, Inc. emailed The Huffington Post stating that 
global food security "is a central challenge of our times, and conventional 
agriculture has to be part of the answer." A portion of their statement read:
    We recognize there are different approaches and merits to conventional 
and organic agriculture. However, taking organic to the scale of commercial 
would require three times the amount of land to feed our rapidly growing 
world population, which would create its own set of environmental 
consequences.

There's the Big Lie.

In fact conventional agricuture is NOT feeding the world now; one third of 
the world's population, 2 billion, can't afford to buy enough food at 
corporate prices.

Take the land and water wasted feeding 10 times more beef than we need and 
feed people directly.

Not to mention millions just in the U.S. can produce much of their own food 
at home, and a billion more elsewhere could if corporations didn't seize 
their land.
