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”

The ‘organic’ grower might be ‘saving the earth’ but the regular farmer is feeding the masses without all the drama.

The lower yield of organic is just part of the story. The other part of the scam is that most organic products are overpriced crap.
