No Tree Left Behind!
Dude, you're just totally off.
Organic farming doesn't waste land. Certain crops grown organically could outproduce tradtional row-planting by four to 12 times over a 10,000 year period. Large row-planting, corporate farms waste thousands of acres of land every year because of having to allow the land to go fallow due to too many chemicals being absorbed into the soil. When you combine that with the fact that those chemicals (as well as now genetically modified manure) seep into the water table, polluting drinking water for people, organic farming is the only kind that makes sense. It's more expensive, yes, because it's more labor intensive.
Hell, I'll pay more for corn if it won't give me cancer and gives someone else a job.
And about bioengineering; three words. Mad Cow Disease.
