The impacts upon non-target and target animals and crops are the biological issues with non-organic and organic farming methods. Non-organic farming methods prioritize specific animals and crops whose marketability and profitability warrant lush, rapid growth even if the necessary inputs and resources compromise the life cycles and natural histories of animals and plants deemed dispensable, in the way or of lesser importance. Organic farming methods contrastingly take in the entire picture through attention to the well-being of the entire farm as one system, one unit, one whole warranting botanical controls and natural predators over chemical, genetically modified, non-local, off-site synthetic inputs and resources.

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.

What is vitamin E organic or inorganic?

Vitamin E is an organic chemical (meaning a complex compound containing the element carbon), but if you are referring to the "food" sense of those words it may be either organic or nonorganic depending on its source and how it was processed. Note: in chemistry the terminology is organic and inorganic while in "foods" the terminology is organic and nonorganic. The terminologies are completely unrelated.
