"There are people that wonder how organic production will
feed the world. Today, people are starving due to social and economic
conditions - not because of a too small food production. The solution
is found in political and economical change and not in agriculture
methods. However, in the long term, no agriculture will be able to
feed an ever increasing population:
Do we want to feed 12 billion people for fifty years
at the cost of massive exploitation of natural resources, loss of
bio-diversity, environmental degradation ending with collapsing
fertility of the soils?
or
Do we want to feed a somewhat smaller population for a long time
in a sustainable way?
Organic agriculture, as we know it today, is the most sustainable
kind of agriculture. Nevertheless, also in organics, there are a
lot of improvements to be made" |
