12 reasons why organic agriculture can feed the world: 1.Soil health is key to sustainability. 2.Petroleum product usage differs greatly in the two models. 3.Organic produce is actually cheaper to grow because they do not need to buy expensive fertilizers and pesticides 4.The model of small organic farms is one that also grows a more diverse array of crops as opposed to the monocrop culture of conventional farming, which depletes the soil. 5.In times of challenging growing conditions it was found that the organic crops actually produced higher yields than the conventional crops. 6.Farmers who cultivated GM varieties earned less money over a 14-year period than those who continued to grow non-GM crops.

12 reasons why organic agriculture can feed the world (continued): 7.Agroecological farming methods could double global food production in just 10 years 8.Numerous independent studies have shown that small scale, organic farming is the best option for feeding the world now and in the future. 9.Small scale, organic farming is the best option for feeding the world 10.Organic agriculture promotes job creation, 11.The organic systems used 45% less energy than the conventional systems. 12.Our food production system is impacting human health in a very negative way.

The High Cost of Cheap Convenient Food! Driven most farmers off land Destroyed small communities Poor quality foods Destroyed nutrient value of foods Environmental disaster Made us food insecure Shifted costs to government, future generations Contributes to global warming Low wage jobs
