Would be good to mention the animal welfare argument for organic food

Need video about the pros and cons of the American MOAB!

Whilst legitimate, they did put up a notice saying they were only going to be talking about veggies.

Great job everyone, I'm so glad to be backing this, you guys are all awesome human beings in my book.

As a food scientist, I'm super glad this video was made. Thank you!

I'm quite sad that you left out so many important topics for this video. How can you talk about pesticide use and not mention things like Glyphosat? Then the whole issue of generalizing the word Organic for the whole globe.

Mary Severinghaus

Because glyphosate has been shown time and time again to be safe for people in the quantities we consume it. Your real concern should be about organophosphates and organochlorides, which are highly toxic, but are making a strong comeback in agriculture around the world (because people have been brainwashed by Big Organic to be frightened of glyphosate).

I enjoyed this (as I always do). Thanks!

Many good points, but I also suggest watching Food, Inc (on Netflix) for other takes on legal and ecological issues surrounding GMOs, as well as the issues of the over use of antibiotics (which I believe Kurzgesagt covered in another video but would've been good to mention here) in large scale meat packing, not to mention the conditions animals and workers are subjected to at such facilities.

We are already using most of the arable land for farming. Organic massively increases land use. Let's not destroy the Amazon (the jungle, not the company) and wipe out wildlife refuges to indulge this latest fad. When the fad is over the animals are still gone.

Love this video, great choice of topic. I'll be buying more local seasonal veg.

CJ Canton

They already did this video in German months ago

Unfortunately I find this video misleading. You don't consider the farm workers who are doused with pesticides when working on conventional farms.

And is more land being used for organic production necessarily a bad practice? The more open space, ( read areas of lesser development, i.e. farmland), available, the more citizens can be out in nature, visiting a farmstand, picking produce at the local CSA, or just seeing open countryside as they pass along the road. Greenhouse gasses aren't the only form of pollution.

Debbie Mansperger

Organic farms, at least in the US, are allowed to use pesticides - some of which are more harmful to people and the environment than man-made pesticides.

How does GMO fit into the picture? Does it offer any significant advantages/disadvantages over conventional or organic agriculture?
