True, organic farming would just not be effective if mass agriculture was the only method of feeding 9 billion people on a global scale.. But if 9 million people could grow foods- from pots, in cracks in a pavement, on the roof of their highrise apartments, if basically every scrap of soil available to us was used to cultivate edible weds and plants, and we moved away from mass agriculture, and moved towards sustainability at a grass roots level, i think we would find more solutions. Mass agriculture is not the answer either. 9 billion will need to start feeding themselves. It is a western privelidge to actually buy food from a supermarket. A lot of people in poor cointries realise that to grow your own food is a neccesity, not a luxury.
