Organic, locally grown food: Better for your family and for our hungry world – right?
Heading to the farmer’s market in the warm spring sunshine, it’s easy
to feel like you’re doing everyone on Earth a small favor. But like
with so many things in life, it depends.
The truth is, there is no silver bullet when it comes to solving food security and environmental challenges in a world that will count 9 billion people by 2050.
So rather than asking which system comes out ahead, we must focus on
how farms perform. In some cases, conventional methods will have higher
yields as well as a smaller environmental impact.
That’s why we can’t afford to shut the door on either strategy. Let me explain why.
