Organic farms do have a lower yield, due to not using as much poison on bugs and weeds, but that does not make them "the worst".

Ah, but if you would rather see high-rise hydroponic monoculture and lab-grown meat, using less intensive farming and ranching methods are bad. That means having free range sheep is bad Q.E.D. And if you consider people who are against your flavor of "progress" as being bad, that means we are bad for protesting this nonsense.

It makes them less land efficient. Which means that you have to take more wilderness to feed the earth.

Many plants and especially wild flowers have adapted for grazed pastures and would be lost if that land was given over to wilderness. Humans are part of the natural landscape and metropolitan environmentalists need to remember that if they really want biodiversity.

Grazed pastures are not an at-risk ecosystem.
