Thank you for this news item. I totally support the view that precision agriculture is more sustainable than “non-precision” agriculture, but I highly disagree with your view towards organic farming. I have to clarify, I do not use any organic products right now, nor do I intend to buy these in the near future. But I would like to spread the world of science, that in fact, organic farming will not lead to the destruction of undeveloped land, and yes in fact it is more sustainable than conventional farming.

Please have a look here:

All highly respectable universities and their studies.

Like I said, I am not a tree-hugging vegan than thinks organics is the only way. I just would like to let everybody on this website know that yes indeed, organics could feed the world without destructive land methods.

Thanks,
