A lot of things would work if there were significant changes to the value chain.
The recent uprising of right-wing fueled farmer protests around here makes me doubt that a lot of farmers actually give a shit about nature - or are too ignorant to see the consequences of what they are doing - and won’t support that kind of change, though.
I don’t see that as a major issue, because it incentivizes people in doing the right thing. especially because is no reason to believe that organic food is nutritionally worse.
Part of that assumption is aggressive marketing of nutritional supplements. There is an attempt to claim modern agricultural produce has less nutrients than in the good old days. Which leads to the counter-claim that organic food, which is produced more like in the good old days, and often uses different seeds etc. must not be prone to that lack of nutrients.
Studies exist on both sides of that argument, and they are mostly biased, obviously.
But I think less toxic is argument enough, if the nutritional value is equal. Especially for kids, and also for small pets, like rabbitses, or hamsters, if one keeps such critters and feeds them produce.
Personally I think the verdict on the nutritional value is still out, and also it would depend on the specific type of organic regulation.
All of that is about vegetables, though, and not about meat, dairy and eggs. Or would you also think that in that regard organic is not better, too?
