http://www.ifoam.org/growing_organic/1_arguments_for_oa/criticisms_misconceptions/misconceptions_index.html

        This site lays out quite well the counter-arguments against those skeptical of organic agriculture. The six broad arguments addressed include the healthiness of organic foods, the comparative environmental impact of  organic farming, the apparent costliness of organic food, the treatment of organically raised livestock, the ability of organic farming to feed the global population, the social justice of organic farming, and the core philosophy. Each argument is addressed in detailed subarguments, totaling forty-two altogether. This presents some good foundation  information for anyone interested.
