@drrobhatch Several points in this comment are either factually incorrect or woefully misleading:
1. If more people buy more organic it is more likely to be subsidized(like many conventional crops are) which would lower the cost, making organic cheaper.
2. But "crop rotation schemes on organic farms include more crops than on conventional farms." fao.org/DOCREP/004/Y1669E/y1669e09.htm

3. Here is some scientific evidence that the animals are more stress resistant(which suggests they are probably happier).

@drrobhatch 4. cont. "reviews of multiple studies show that organic varieties do provide significantly greater levels of vitamin C, iron, magnesium, and phosphorus than non-organic varieties of the same foods.

@drrobhatch 4. cont. International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition study review of organic vs conventional diet in animals. Weight gain was greater in organically fed rats,mortality was lower at 9 weeks,incidence of degenerative diseases was lower. Lower mortality in organically fed rabbits. 2nd and 3rd generation rabbits from organically fed parents exhibited higher birth rates and more viable embryos. Infectious illnesses were less frequent in 2nd generation organically fed animals.

I also posted animal studies for #4. which suggest fertility was increased in the organically fed animals.
@SpamPudding Sustainable Agriculture Farming Systems project at UC Davis. Results from the first 8 years of the project show that organic and low-input systems had yields comparable to the conventional systems in all crops tested-tomato,safflower,corn and bean, and in some instances yielding higher than conventional systems(Clark 1999a)
Great video! Really well done. Make small choices, such as choosing organic, can really make such a big difference. As more people become aware of organic food options, many are still unaware of the world's second dirtiest crop (based on amt of pesticides used): Cotton. If you are interested in learning more, please watch our video Why Organic Cotton?
The one think they're not taking into account when they say that organic farming uses less energy than intensive farming is that they're not taking into account the energy used per single crop ratio. In intensive farming it's let's say 30,000 units of energy for 1000 ears of corn, and 25,000 units of energy for 500 ears of corn grown organically. Sure organic farming uses less energy, but there is a much smaller crop output.
Pretty sarcastic when he refers to the animals we eat as "our friends". Man is the only species on Earth that eats his friends. I wonder if the animals reciprocate in what they call us.
The more people that buy organic the cheaper it will become? And do you mind telling me how I'm gonna pay my mortgage when I have to sell lettuce for $1 a head? We don't charge these prices because we're greedy, it's because that's what you need to charge when you farm on a small scale. It's not that much more expensive for vegetables as it is. You start paying a lower price, small farmers start adopting cheaper practices and the quality of the food suffers and we're back to square one.
@LifeRegenRevolution I'm sorry but I'm talking about economics and the detail in this video about making organic food cheaper. Cheap food is what causes slavery. I raise organic food and I wish everyone could afford it. I will not tolerate complaining from rich people about the price of my food. How much do you make an hour?

Several points in this video are either factually incorrect or woefully misleading:
1, If more people buy organic it will not become cheaper.
2, Crop rotation is common on conventional farms as well as organic farms.
3, Show me scientific evidence that organically reared animals are happier.
4, Organic food has not been proven to have health benefits or taste better.
5, Anti-oxidents is spelt anti-oxidants
6, Eating organic food does not increase your sperm count.
