Treehugger: Organic Farming More Than Competitive
What some of us already knew is being confirmed by a Cornell University study: “Organic farming produces the same yields of corn and soybeans as does conventional farming, but uses 30 percent less energy, less water and no pesticides, a review of a 22-year farming trial study concludes.” Of course, the people who make fortunes selling fertilizer, herbicides, pesticides, GMO crops, etc, don’t want people to know that.

It’s the little things that make the difference but tech makes the news and news sells product. I’ll take the odor of cow shit over chemical fertilizer any day.

We just got to get small. Big just don’t always (any time?) work!
