Yes organic food is expensive. But the reason for having the expenses are pretty simple and straight forward.

  1. Conventional food uses pesticides , herbicides as well as fertilizers to make sure that almost a 100% yield of fruits and veggies can be obtained from farms.But with organic foods this isn’t really possible. Yields are lower than conventional farming methods with a percentage of 10 and 20% lower than normal agriculture. Some roots crops range much much lower as much as 40% lower.
  2. Organic farmers don’t use herbicide so they have to till mulch and then weed out farms by hand which is very labor intensive and tiring.Thus production costs are much more and thus the end cost can be higher.
  3. Agro-­chemical agriculture was designed to get the largest amount of food from the earth with the least expense and effort. As a result the government decided to subsidize the farms through the taxpayer through the government, but unfortunately organic farming receives no subsidies at all.
