STUDY OF THE WEEK:

ORGANIC FARMING CAN FEED THE WORLD*

A new University of Michigan study indicates that organic farming is

more productive than chemical and energy intensive industrial

agriculture. Researchers noted 293 examples in previous studies that

corroborate the fact that organic farming is better than conventional,

but pointed out that biased studies funded by chemical producers have

clouded the public's understanding of the issue. Corporate agribusiness

has spent decades repeating the mantra that chemical intensive

agriculture is necessary to feed the world. But according to the new

report, " Model estimates indicate that organic methods could produce

enough food on a global per capita basis to sustain the current human

population, and potentially an even larger population, without

increasing the agricultural land base. " Ivette Perfecto, a professor at

the University of Michigan, said of the study, " My hope is that we can

finally put a nail in the coffin of the idea that you can't produce

enough food through organic agriculture. "
