Organic Farming “could feed Africa.”

While many have been pushing for Africa to build large scale industrial farms growing genetically modified (GM) crops (mainly those selling GM seeds and industrial fertilizers), a major new study for from the UN to be presented today shows that organic practices in Africa not only can raise productivity, but do it in a way that avoids the social and economic costs of shifting to those large scale industrial farms.

In other words, organic farming can feed people without simultaneously impoverishing them and making the land incapable of supporting them over the long haul.
