When you grow organic, you need twice the amount of space as a "chemical pesticide" farm to grow the same amount of food. Also, many people think that growing organically means NO pesticides, which isn't true. It's just DIFFERENT pesticides, which is a very misleading concept. Plus people are willing to pay up to 23% more for the organic label.... sadly organic tends to be more of a marketing scheme than actually beneficial (at least here in the US).
