this isn't the problem - the problem is distribution. if you could send all the wasted food from the usa to africa, who would starve? how do we get more food to starving people is the question. there is enough food. the reason people are starving is due to poverty and lack of access to resources, not crop yield.
And how do you send perishable food from areas with a surplus thousands of miles to areas with a deficit without wasting billions of pounds a year and massive amounts of fossil fuels? Would it not be more sensible to increase crop yields in areas where there is a food deficit?
of course not.
Why not?

I think it makes sense in some cases but mostly it makes you feel like you are doing something

I think organic food is a luxury that few will want as food prices increase in the coming decades.

organic has always been more about the process than the extra nutrition

I think the organic movement is mostly a big scam: an excuse to charge more money for less food.

Actually, I believe the "no pesticides" part predates the "no GMOs" part.
