I don't for one moment pretend to undestand the scope and true definition of the term "organic" farming.
My entry into this debate is that could Hydroponics be suitably produced and economically viable as a farming concern? If you had a sufficiently powerful enough water filtration system (using reverse osmosis), and organically acceptable nutrients, could a producer compete with others, without having the problems of water run-off from other non-organic farmers in the area? I am imagining it may even be necessary to set this up in a covered, sealed environment to stop cross-pollinaion from nearby growers. It would most probably take a large set up cost, so that could break the back of that donkey before it was born.
Just a thought.
