I posted it only because there is a rumor floating around the Internet that conventional agriculture is required to feed the world. They claim we couldn't grow organically world wide because it would reduce yields and people would starve.

It isn't true. But a very large number of people believe it anyway.

I just think people need to know with modern organic methods you most certainly can grow at least as much food....and in many cases even more...at a far lower environmental impact...and in many cases even improving the environment.
