because organic farming does not use chemical fertilizers and pesticides, it is good for the environment. some argue, however, that organic farming isn't necessarily a good thing. why?

Answer:

organic farms require 25 to 110 percent more land in order to produce the same amount of food than conventional systems because organic yields are lower, with organic farms needing more space to grow deforestation is basically inevitable.
