Organic food production is growing by leaps and bounds in the United States. Many consumers are willing to pay premium prices for organic fruits, vegetables, and meats, convinced that they are helping the earth and eating healthier.
Swiss scientists at the Research Institute for Organic Agriculture have just published a 21-year study in Sciencecomparing two types of organic farming with two types of conventional agriculture. The results initially seem to back up those consumer beliefs, and the press has described the research as showing that organic farms are “viable” (to quote the Los Angeles Times) and “more efficient” (to quote Reuters). But don’t rush out just yet to Whole Foods to stock up on organic arugula or chard.
