Organic farming delivers environmental benefits including higher biodiversity, reduced pesticide and antibiotic use, and lower greenhouse gas emissions per hectare. It supports soil and pollinator health, enhances nutritional quality of whole foods, and aligns with ecological principles. However, it requires 84% more land globally due to lower yields, raising challenges for scalability. True cost accounting reveals significant environmental and social externalities in conventional systems. Transitioning fully to organic farming would require reduced food waste, lower meat consumption, and policy support to ensure food security.
