Organic produce costs so much because output per acre sucks.

Grok:

“Organic crop yields are generally lower than nonorganic (conventional) yields, but the gap varies by crop, region, and farming practices. Based on available data:
• Overall Yield Gap: Meta-analyses show organic yields are typically 19–25% lower than conventional yields. For example, a 2012 Nature study found organic yields average 25% lower, ranging from 5% lower for perennials on favorable soils to 34% lower for comparable systems. A 2014 Berkeley study reported a 19.2% yield gap”
