Is organic food more nutritious?
"organic food probably contained slightly more micronutrients but it was not clear whether this provided any actual health benefits".
More land is needed since the abundance of bee's and birds on organic farms produce about 25% less food per acre, the crops are more spread out which leads to the need of more land.
"Land conservation is a big threat to wildlife".
Organic food is more pricey than regular food so consumers cannot access it easily (especially low-income people).
Nitrogen loss is occurring in organic farms.
