Are organic foods the wave of the future?

Answer

Yes, with more nutrients in the fruits and vegetables people are realizing that the higher price tag is worth it over the herbicide and preservatives they put in regular lower cost produce.

Different opinion-
NO!
organic farming is not sustainable! It needs the waste and unrecycled garbage produced by non organic farming to exist. I'll explain- to grow organically, one can not use fertilizer, they use compost instead which is fine. However if all organic waste in the world would be recycled into compost and spread evenly over agricultural fields you would get less then 10 cubic meters per hectare per year. To grow organic you need 40-60 cubic meters per hectare per year. See what I mean? There are other problems as well. In nut shell organic farming looks at the past- where something came from, if its organic you can use it- while standard farming today looks at the present- if i make money its good regardless of what happens in the future. Both are non sustainable in the long run. The future will have hi-tech non-organic farming which minimizes the use of pesticides and creates a cycle which leaves the environment in at least the same condition i was when you started if not better. If anything, organic farming is the wave of the past. zaf.
