@Tommy9834 "Organic farming can yield up to three times as much food as conventional farming on the same amount of land.""in developed countries, yields were almost equal on organic and conventional farms. In developing countries, food production could double or triple using organic methods"" sciencedaily"dot"com/releases/2007/07/070711134523.htm
@Tommy9834 "It is important to realize that all organic foods must meet the same quality and safety standards applied to conventional foods" fao"dot"org/organicag/oa-faq/oa-faq4/en/
Organic has MORE FDA, EPA and USDA restrictions than conventional farming. For example, manure fertilizers must be composted in organic for a time period to reduce harmful bacteria, but conventional has no restriction and apply manure and sewage sludge(not allowed in organic) whenever, with no regard to bacteria.

Not only does organic have to pass FDA and EPA but organic has to go through MORE restrictions by the USDA than conventional food. For example, organic farming has a time restriction on how long a manure based fertilizer must be composted, reduceing the risk of harmful bacteria. Conventional has no such restrictions.

@Tommy9834 IJFSN study, Organic food: nutritious food or food for thought? A review of the evidence. Weight gain 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. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12907407
