Working on updating degree in crop science @ this time. I've been reading studies on ROI/profitability for organic vs conventional crops for a paper I need to write. Organic production cost is higher per unit produced, less yields typically, demand seems to have peaked for the time being. Conventional crops have remained steady for cost of production of late, yields steady to higher, demand steady. Cost of land is virtually the same between the two.
