I hope you're right that organic farming can produce similar yields.

There's another thing I'd like to say though. Genetically modified crops can
grow in poor soil and produce higher yields per plant. Would those be
considered "organic?" Certainly they can be used to feed hungry people.

I saw a guy on tv who was working with the genetics of a certain game fish
that is considered a "poor man's fish" in many parts of the world to make it
grow larger, so that people who caught it would have more food to eat.

I just hope the push toward "organic" won't be harming this important work.
