    eat better organic food

    A slight nit-pick here, but when it comes to greenhouse gas impact, organic food may be worse. It’s certainly not clearly better.

      Yeah I’ve overheard that before too. If they would just change their words to “eat less meat” they’re be right, but to only say “organic” implies standard agriculture is worse, and it is not clearly so.

      We should eat less meat though.

        We sholdn’t eat less meat, meat is pretty much zero emission and closed loop food production. We should more.

      organic food definitely uses more resources per unit output than “commercial” ag. It can’t supply the world’s food supply unless they greatly increase their capabilities. It’s either “modern methods” or we reduce the worlds population.
