I'm really disappointed with this article. It slams 'organic' farming and says that those methods lead to lower yields but it fails to explain why or cite any sources. Seems like journalistic troll.

Coversely, I hope we can have a good discussion as to how different types of farming effect our ability to produce food. These sites might be a good starting point:
