The higher price tells you "organic" consumes more resources and results in more pollution. Price is usually the only honest measure available of total energy use and waste output.
Nature can only support about 2% of the current human population. Without man-made farming methods, most Demonrats would die.
Remember, *all* food is poison is sufficient quantity. Rather than just choose "organic", choose small quantities of a large variety of food sources. Never eat large quantities of only one thing. The human body is great at handling environmental poisons, not so great at handling man-made concentrations.
“The Breakthrough Institute study, called Nature Unbound, argued that, by embracing technology, humanity could shrink its footprint and leave more land for “nature.. One widely cited study found that the smallest African farms produced about 25 percent more yield per hectare than the largest African farms. But the average American farm produced about 10 times more yield per hectare than either. Yield gaps between farmers in rich nations and those in poor countries are profound,” they wrote. - https://grist.org/food/do-industrial-agricultural-methods-actually-yield-more-food-per-acre-than-organic-ones/
Today’s farmers produce 262 percent more food compared to 1950. Total crop yield in the United States has increased more than 360 percent since 1950. While this has increased, the use of resources, such as seeds, labor, feed, fertilizer, land, and water, has declined. Since 1982, U.S. land being used for crops has declined by 70 million acres. Dairy cow milk production has become more efficient. The amount of feed a cow needs to consume to produce 100 pounds of milk has decreased by more than 40 percent in the last 30 years. Methods for reducing erosion (soil loss) and using less energy has grown from 17 percent of acreage in 1982 to 63 percent currently. - https://blog.aghires.com/farmers-produce-262-more-food-today/
In the 1930s one American farmer produced enough agricultural product to feed a total of four people; a family farm was literally meant to feed a family [source: Kirschenmann]. Fast forward 40 years, and that number rises from four people to 73. Fast forward through 80 years of agricultural and bioscience innovation, and in the 2010s, one farmer produces enough food to feed 155 people [sources: USDA, Sullivan]. - https://recipes.howstuffworks.com/how-many-farmer-feed.htm
