51. Can Organic Agriculture Really Feed the World?

In this episode, we explore one of the most common and complex questions I hear: Can organic agriculture really feed the world?With so much skepticism surrounding sustainable farming, we take a data-informed look at what this question really means, and what’s hidden between the lines. I break down why the data often appears skewed, how conventional yields decline over time, and why the conversation about global food supply must include issues of distribution, waste, and sovereignty.I encourage you to expand your perspective beyond yield numbers to the deeper systems that determine how food is produced, valued, and shared. What kind of food are we really talking about when we ask whether organic agriculture can “feed the world”? And could it be that we already grow more than enough?Tune in to learn more about:Why skepticism around organic agriculture persistsHow to read between the lines of agricultural dataThe difference between productivity and true sustainabilityWhy conventional yields decline over timeThe importance of biodiversity and soil healthThe global reality of food waste and inequitable distributionHow efficiency in the current system hides deep inefficiencyWhat food sovereignty really means, and why it mattersWhy regenerative and organic agriculture aren’t just possible, but essential...
