Organically grown crops

[mrs_sweetpeach]

I saw a news headline that seemed to indicate that if all crops were grown organically, there wouldn't be enough food to feed everyone. This may or may not be true, but if it is true, does it count all the grains (and other ingredients) that go into snack foods and other unhealthy fare? If we all ate cleanly, would what can be grown organically be more than enough? My suspicion is "yes."

I'm pretty sure it's correct to say that all organic crops wouldn't produce enough calories to feed the current population.

Going organic would mean dropping pretty much all pesticides, and that would probably cut production to a tenth of what we have now.
