I believe organic food production is a dangerous fad that has the potential to cause billions to die of starvation. CMV

Historically, human population growth went along with increases in food production and the switch from subsistence farming to larger scale farming and eventually industrial farming. 

These increases in food production were made possible by a string of innovations and increases in productivity through technological and methodological advances in farming, like crop rotation, better plowing tools, use of animal labour, use of manure as fertilizer, breeding of crops and livestock, chemically produced fertilizers and pesticides, and, as of late, genetic modification of crops.

Today is the first time in recorded history that we deliberately use farming methods that decrease output under the moniker of organic food production. 

I believe that the desire for organic food production is a symptom of rich and saturated societies, and is what we here know as a "first world problem". This desire has the potential to compromise the global food output if it becomes more wide-spread and increase the number of people living in hunger and dying from starvation.

I don't contest that chemically produced fertilizers and pesticides and GMO crops must be used carefully and in measured amounts to get the risk/benefit balance right, and yes, there are risks, hazards and dangers associated with them. I don't contest either, that early pesticides were rather poisonous and at times did more harm than good, especially when used naively.

However, science and engineering progress all the time, pesticides become better, more specific, fertilizers become better to handle, cheaper and less energy-intensive to produce, GMO crops continue what breeding programs have done in the past, that is improve a plant species for more and potentially healthier output with equal production cost.

And thus, I believe that organic food production is a dangerous fad, and that to increase food output and eradicate hunger and malnutriton we must use and improve industrial farming methods, using and improving all means available to us intelligently and wisely and without the prejudice of labelling something that came out of a chemical plant as "bad" while labelling something that came out of a cow's arse as somehow magically "good", and instead have a sane cost/benefit analysis that takes into account all that is availabe to us.

Quite simply, we must not throw away much of the food production techniques what served us well the last couple of hundred years because that could kill a large portion of humans alive today.

Change my view.

You're correct that it's possible because we live in a first-world society where we have a glut of food available.  The reason this is correct is because this glut means that the food supply exceeds the demand, thereby leaving room for the lower yields that organic farming produces, because even with the lower yields, we still have too much food here.  If things were to progress to the point you fear though, where demand exceeds supply, then the market would push things back to the more efficient methods in order to cover this unmet demand.

So yes, it is a product of a luxury culture, but its existence is predicated on that luxury culture of excess food existing, and if this excess ever vanished, then organic farming would be forced to scale back accordingly.
