Less or more every thing is damaging environment. It may be possible that use of chemicals and gases based pesticides and fertilizers damaging environment. Organic farming can be save environment. 

Only organic farming will perhaps save the environment but will not save the humans from hunger because of less agri production.

The new Research says consumption of Vegetables, fruits, and seafood leads to high resource use. in other words these foods spend more resources and Green House Gas emissions (GHG) per calorie  For example eating lettuce is over three times worse in GHG emissions than eating Beacon.

 

Behind GHG emission, growing, processing and transportation of food requires more energy than having a non veg food. So if vegetables, fruits, crops are not grown on earth then how will animal survive on earth. This is natural cycle and we cannot live only on non veg.

It is right that after starting organic farming, production may be less in starting years but it will be increased after 2 or 3 years. Laks tonnes grain destroyed every years because of shortage of storage capacity. It is better to stores grains in proper way.

In these days of adulteration it is difficult to get fertilizers without  hazardous chemicals. Unscrupulous business men are selling all the pesticides ridden with chemicals which damage the soil in such a big way that the soil cannot get back to its original form.
