Five 'eco-friendly' products that actually harm the environment
Numerous studies have undermined the mythology surrounding organic farms. Most recently research published in Nature in September 2018 found that high-yield conventional farms are actually better for the environment than organic farms because they are drastically more efficient, yielding 20 percent more crops than organic farms.

Contrary to many people's perceptions, more intensive agriculture that uses less land is better for the environment because it may also produce fewer pollutants, cause less soil loss and use less water.

While this revelation may be shocking for environmentalists, they can comfort themselves in another major claim about organic food that has been debunked by scientists.

The myth is that organic food is healthier than food grown using conventional methods. Two systematic reviews, one from Stanford University and another from a team of Oxford academics, found no evidence that organic foods are more nutritious or lead to better health outcomes for consumers.

The goal is to avoid GMO, roundup, and other pesticide poisons. Organic is one solution.

High yield is a public relations term for GMO.
