The scale of it
The article expresses a hope that as the organic industry scales up, the cost of organic food will go down.. but isn't the scale of current agriculture business what got us in trouble in the first place? Is it even possible to grow that large an operation without chemicals, storage and transport infrastructure? There was a good point in other comments, that the local is just as important as the organic... local, organic, a complete package. It may very well be that non-organic food is actually more expensive -- but the real cost evades the consumer. With rising energy prices, the cost ratio of organic vs non-organic may yet be reversed..On Seriously, now -- why aren't organics getting affordable? posted 4 years, 2 months ago 18 Responses
