If we make it national policy that we will support small farmers the way we support agribusiness, we'll suddenly see it change in terms of the cost of organic food.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If we pursue organic farming as our healthy food style, we can bring down cost of treatment to a great extent.
If we as a society are willing to have a preference for organic food, the farmer can pass on the savings.
If everybody switched to organic farming, we couldn't support the earth's current population - maybe half.
We must make organic and farm-raised costs more affordable. We need to come to a level where people who don't have a lot of money can afford it. If we could eat just fresh foods, it would be wonderful.
Adopting big-business practices is one thing, and adopting agribusiness practices that would dilute the meaning of 'organic' is another. On the whole, I think we're doing a pretty good job of preserving the integrity of organic foods.
It's become more readily apparent that we need to be growing our own food and growing more things organically.
I do feel like food should cost more, because we aren't paying farmers a living wage. It has to cost more.
Every major food company now has an organic division. There's more capital going into organic agriculture than ever before.
Now listen, the one thing about agriculture is we've lost our manufacturing, we've lost a great deal of jobs overseas, lots of our industry. The last thing in the world we need to do is lose the ability to produce our food.
I have a long attention span, and I am also a good scientist, and there are a lot of problems that remain in the organic agricultural movement that the government does not invest in solving.
