Organic farming success
Organic farming produces same corn and soybean yields as conventional farms, but consumes less energy and no pesticides, study finds
“Organic farming approaches for these crops not only use an average of 30 percent less fossil energy but also conserve more water in the soil, induce less erosion, maintain soil quality and conserve more biological resources than conventional farming does,”

30% less energy is a huge saving when profits on farms today are pennies on the dollar.
Bet this study didn’t come from a government agency. Not a lot of profit in organic supplies. 😉
