Viewpoint: Uncomfortable truth — 'Organic farming takes too much land to have any chance to feed the world in a climate-changed environment'

Science for Sustainable Agriculture (SSA) was recently asked by the farming media to comment on a policy paper issued by the organic certification body Organic Farmers & Growers (OF&G), calling on the UK Government to use its forthcoming land use framework to treble the area of organically managed land in England, claiming this would result in significant climate and biodiversity benefits.
