Regarding the organic food, I wish it were that simple, but organic isn't better than conventional. It can still use pesticides, if they have a biological origin, and these are more aggressive than the synthetic ones. To feed the same population, more land use is required, thereby increasing deforestation and more carbon emissions to bring food along greater distances.
