And it turns out Foreign Policy’s editorial board recognizes that Paarlberg’s article isn’t definitive. They’ve now posted a great rebuttal: http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2010/04/29/dont_panic_go_organic?page=0,0

Yes indeed, the article referenced is authored by Dr. Paarlberg, whose bias against organic agriculture is well known. That’s kind of why I mentioned him in my post in the first place. And he clearly has not kept up to date on the state of organic practices, which are also discussed in the original post.

Here is an excerpt from a very interesting article in the latest issue of the journal Foreign Policy:
The development and introduction of high-yielding wheat and rice seeds into poor countries, led by American scientist Norman Borlaug and others in the 1960s and 70s, paid huge dividends. In Asia these new seeds lifted tens of millions of small farmers out of desperate poverty and finally ended the threat of periodic famine. India, for instance, doubled its wheat production between 1964 and 1970 and was able to terminate all dependence on international food aid by 1975. As for indebted and discontented farmers, India’s rural poverty rate fell from 60 percent to just 27 percent today. Dismissing these great achievements as a “myth” (the official view of Food First, a California-based organization that campaigns globally against agricultural modernization) is just silly.
