Scientific evidence of the benefits of organic food and farming

Agriculture is one of the most ill-conceived human
endeavors. We plow down stable communities of hundreds of species of
plants to get single-row crops. We replace entire ecosystems with
pesticides, fertilizers, precious fresh water, and tractor emissions.
Then, after every harvest, we start all over again. Organic agriculture
breaks this cycle. But it's just a Band-Aid on the wound. Richard
Manning, in an article, Super Organics in Wired. www.wired.com/wired/archive

Manning is the author of Against the grain: how agriculture has
hijacked civilization.
