For. All farming is organic. Organic means "containing carbon", and all farm products contain carbon, regardless of how they were produced. But if you're talking about the stolen definition of the word, which requires not using most pesticides, fertilizers, hormones, etc., I'm against "organic" farming. Well, that's not exactly true. If people are willing to pay ten times as much for food that is unhealthy, tastes like cardboard, is riddled with insect demage, is growth-stunted, and might contain deadly E coli bacteria, then I have nothing against the farmers who take advantage of these morons. In fact, it makes me want to get into organic farming myself. But as for eating that crap? No way! I value my life way too much to risk it by eating organic foods. No one has ever died from eating the small amount of pesticide residue present on "conventionally-grown" crops. However, dozens have died from E coli on organic produce.

Should there be more organic farms?
There are many arguments both on the "for" and "against" side of whether their should be more organic farms. The main "for" argument is the "depletion of the environment, overuse of pesticides/fertilizers and loss of natural habitat for wildlife through intensive farming". There is also the "cruelty to animals farmed through intensive farming methods" argument. The main "against" argument is that "it is not possible to feed the world's population through organic farming methods, because organic farming yields much less than conventional farming methods". Personally, I think there is a happy middle-ground to be found. Also, many farms are "organic" in all but name, due to various issues associated with being certified as organic.
