One of the main arguments against organic farming is the harvest numbers. It’s a widely held belief that without using chemicals to grow your food there’s no way of keeping bugs from eating at least a portion of your crop, so organic farms must have crop yields substantially lower than chemical farms. A new study says otherwise. In fact, the groundbreaking report conducted by UC Berkeley researchers shows that organic farm’s yields are only slightly lower than conventional farms—only about 8 percent, opposed to the previously believed 25 percent—without destroying the environment with chemicals. The report also states: “Eradicating world hunger requires increasing the access to food, not simply the production.”
