Organic food has always been a marketing scam. How else are you going to get people to pay for food product has no health advantages, no nutritional advantages, costs more to produce, and damages the environment. (Organic food requires more land or resources produce the same output.)

It is my opinion that the closed system should be certified organic and the open air farming should be certified as WeHAPIO (we hope and pray its organic). Why? Open air farming is subject to pesticidal drift, herbicidal drift, pollution, water runoff, animal and insect infiltration, etc. where as the closed system has none of that. End the end; do you buy organic soil or organic produce to eat? That is the question and I buy and eat produce not soil.
