Hi Rivka and all,
I would very much appreciate the cites re comparability of crop yields between organic & conventional ag.
Thank you.
All best wishes,
Karen

is also inaccurate. A number of recent studies (I have some cites if you want them) have shown that, in the relatively long term, organic methods give crop yields as high as those on conventional farms. There's often a drop in production when farms first transition to organic agriculture, but yields generally rise again as beneficial organisms come back into balance. I address it here, not specifically because Avery said it, but because it is such a common misconception.
