<>I had begun to despair that anyone would begin to look critically
at the current “Can organic agriculture feed the world” focus,
This was exactly my response. What the cited study said to me, seeing
that organic has lower yields than chemical farming, was that in
order to have a less damaging agriculture, we need to accept lower
food yields as one of its corollaries. At my talks, I often get asked<>
if permaculture can feed the world, and I answer that the only thing
I know of that can feed 7 billion is a lot of cheap oil.
