There are still being questions asked regarding the idea that organic farming is the best idea for the world as well as the environment. If you go to a farmers’ market, you are bound to be told that this is the best way to shop as products will be locally grown and although this will be true in some cases, results will vary from area to area. There will have to be many different schemes in order to ensure there is enough wholesome food to go around a population that could have reached 9 billion inhabitants as soon as 2050.
The way that farms perform can be more important than which system is best. There are times when organic farming will not lead to larger yields or have the least impact on the environment. Both forms of agriculture should be allowed to work side by side and in certain areas such as Sub-Saharan Africa there is little help available, and food can be scarce.

We need to change the conversation about sustainable agriculture to talk about performance – rather than focusing on which production systems are good or bad.
Organic farming here will be good as chemical products will not be available, so animal manure is pretty much all there is. Production will be entirely different in Africa and South America than it is in the States or Europe.
Performance has to be the way in which farming systems are judged, and size should not be the main issue. Now is the time to help farmers across the world to protect their land while still increasing output. Everyone needs to be involved.
