I've been farming for over a decade, and every time someone suggests we go fully organic to save the soil, I remember the year I tried it on half my acreage. My yields dropped by 30%, and the local grocery chain still wouldn't pay a premium because my certification wasn't from the big agency. Organic farming can reduce chemical runoff and build long-term soil health, but it often demands more land and labor to produce the same amount of food. Given that global food demand is projected to rise 50% by 2050, should we prioritize feeding everyone today over protecting the land for tomorrow?
