I feel that organic methods are sustainable agriculture.  Perhaps we should consult the farms that are already doing this on a large scale.  I believe one is arrowhead mills.  Other farms, (i.e. Piedmont - CO) are also doing large scale organic farming.  
I recently visited an organic farm on Kauai (Hawaii).  At one time, they received 24 inches of rain in less than 2 days.  This farm was able to market their goods the following week while modern farms had lost 2-4" of topsoil.  

Buy organic,
