I agree that organic farming cannot keep up with the human population's demand for food, but I see no reason not to allow market forces to determine how much of the farmers' resources are devoted to organic farming, as long as what's considered "organic" is tightly regulated and the definition of "organic" isn't watered down. Unfortunately, there's a lot of pressure for the latter to happen.

supposed benefits of it are dubious at best.

Aside from supposedly higher nutrient content in organic foods, there is the issue of pesticide residue. Not a small deal there.
