51. Can Organic Agriculture Really Feed the World?

In this episode, we explore one of the most common and complex questions I hear: Can organic agriculture really feed the world?

With so much skepticism surrounding sustainable farming, we take a data-informed look at what this question really means, and what’s hidden between the lines. I break down why the data often appears skewed, how conventional yields decline over time, and why the conversation about global food supply must include issues of distribution, waste, and sovereignty.

I encourage you to expand your perspective beyond yield numbers to the deeper systems that determine how food is produced, valued, and shared. What kind of food are we really talking about when we ask whether organic agriculture can “feed the world”? And could it be that we already grow more than enough?

Tune in to learn more about:

• Why skepticism around organic agriculture persists
• How to read between the lines of agricultural data
• The difference between productivity and true sustainability
• Why conventional yields decline over time
• The importance of biodiversity and soil health
• The global reality of food waste and inequitable distribution
• How efficiency in the current system hides deep inefficiency

• What food sovereignty really means, and why it matters
• Why regenerative and organic agriculture aren’t just possible, but essential
