Very informative article!! and for those people who are crying that the yield is not comparable to conventional farming and may not be enough to provide for huge population, they should read more articles on food wastage. In the UK alone, £10.2bn of food is waste every year according to The Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP). They also estimated that average UK household throws away 18% of all food purchased, while families with children throw away 27%.

Its more about sensible use of resources.

There is enough organic waste to produce organic fertilizer “Power Soil” (with the anaerobic procedere). One Unit in Size of a 20′ container produces 7 tons per week.
To same time it is a very good disposal for all the organic waste as manure of all animal growing plants as for chicken, pigs, turkeys, and so on.
All harmfull substances were destroid from the different bacterial cultures.
It is absolutly harmless even in concentrated state.
It has 30 times more soil bacteries than normal good soil and can reactivate every karstified soil or desert by work in 2.5kg /sqm.
By modifying the procedure conditions the ferilizer can be designd for several uses an optimized for special plants.

Good post. Organic Farming cannot replace Farming with Chemical Fertilisers and pesticides. In a limited way organic farming can meet the needs of those who prefer organically grown food.

Ladies and gentlemen, if your purpose is to convince someone of your point of view, insulting them is an ineffective way of going about it. Bystanders are similarly not swayed by such attacks.

I suppose that would be true, if it actually happened.

But it hasn’t, so drink your great big cup of FAIL….

Thanx a lot for taking the time to invalidate the twisted myths of this appalling article. Glad someone responded with enough knowledge to do that!

Ain’t it a bitch when science slaps the crap out of a religion like the “Organic” Movement.

Maybe reread the article Barrie…. “In some cases, organic methods have been shown to have significantly higher yields than conventional methods.

PS Organic farming does allow a restricted range of mineral fertilisers.

You miss a key point. There is only so much organic fertilizer available, and not enough to maintain current food production, let alone future food needs. To get the best yields you need to supplement organic nutrients with mineral fertilizers – something restricted in organic agriculture. By refusing the benefits of nitrogen fertilizer produced by fixing nitrogen from the atmosphere, organic agriculture wastes valuable productive land growing nitrogen fixing crops. Yields and crop quality are damaged by not applying correct amounts of mineral phosphate and potash. Integrated nutrient management looks to optimise crop production in a sustainable way using both organic and mineral nutrients. Organic agriculture is grossly wasteful of the scarcest resource of all – good agricultural land.
