The American diet needs an overhaul. But “organic” food offers no guarantee of eating well, healthfully, sanely, even ethically.

A new analysis finds higher yields from industrial-style agriculture, but a role for organic farming in certain circumstances.

Advocates of local food say now is the time for the Hunts Point produce market to make room for a wholesale farmers’ market fueled by smaller growers.
