Blame the middle men..Not the farmers. I am a certified organic farmer/rancher who is subject to all of the increased costs. However I believe that there is far too much price gouging taking place in the market due to all of the middle men. We sell our grass finished beef to our local grocery store at the same rate that they can buy it from IBP. Consumers will be able to buy it for about the same price as the IBP garbage because we are eliminating four or five middle men.......Buy Local

Let's call it what it is,a racket.The idea that there is a legitimate long term reason "organic" methods of farming should cost substantially more is apologist BS for bad bureaucracy and thieving corporate interests.Of course if you simply convert to organic methods of farming without accounting for all the inputs,it'll be more labor intensive and yield less.That's a straw man's argument.Properly balanced permaculture farming methods yield the same OR MORE.Unnatural trumps Mother Nature? NEVER!!

Once it becomes law which I hope to see soon that anything you grow must be organic then the cost of it will go way down..anyone know if there is any movement to make it a law?

Thank you this video. You explain the topic well. This will help me more clearly explain to my customers why the organic food I produce costs more for them than conventional foods they buy in the grocery store. Hannah at theorganicmother . com

@d716agq I respect you for asking questions and admitting when you are unsure. My answer would be that CO2 is not an "emission" you need to fear. The real emissions that we should ask about are the ones that cause disease and cancer. Powerful people are distracting the public from poisonous emissions mostly from the oil industry, aluminum processing, pesticides and herbicides on GMO farms, etc. CO2 is harmless and should be respected as a building block of life.

Where are the local meat folks in Texas? I would love to know!

@ifeelforgaza Well i was referring to the CO2 emissions from the energy used to farm the food (is this more or less than the CO2 absorbed by the food? I don't know)

You get what you pay for.

Good to see a video that just sets out to inform, without pushing an agenda!
What about non-USDA organic designations? Are they regulated at all? What standards must they conform to?
@emberglance - Thank you for the kind words! I aimed to just deliver the facts.
Conventional agriculture is pretty much a free market and the USDA does not inspect conventional farms.
