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.

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.

If we as a society are willing to have a preference for organic food, the farmer can pass on the savings.

If some consumers believe that it's better from the point of view of their health to have organic food, God bless them. Let them buy it. Let them pay a bit more.

Provision as much pure and organic food as you can, and let the rest go by.

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.

If everybody switched to organic farming, we couldn't support the earth's current population - maybe half.

If stores and vendors know there is a demand for organic products, they will make them. The more they make, the more the cost comes down.

Economically, many folks don't feel they can afford organic. While this may be true in some cases, I think more often than not it's a question of priority. I feel it's one of the most important areas of concern ecologically, because the petrochemical giants - DuPont, Monsanto - make huge money by poisoning us.
