Childhood indoctrination

While organic might be a less efficient way when it comes to yield, that would hardly be a significant problem, seeing how much food we waste here because of over-production or to keep prices stable.

Yes, organic is so much more preferable to petrochemical and current Big-ag practices. This is your first stumbling block. Wonderful that you buy local from organic practitioners of the farmers craft. Unfortunately the excess is not transportable, storable and as such has no $ value otherwise big-ag would have used it before now. Your prices are higher than the conventional petrochemical and $USD9.00 a kilo for spuds is very excessive.

You are in Germany? Do you understand the soil under your feet? The animals and humans that have died over the centuries to produce the soil that you currently have? What chemicals do your market gardeners use? They will at least have to use Bacillus thuringiensis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacillus_thuringiensis as a pesticide. The fact that the majority of your organic crops are also genetically modified to suit Germany's climate is another issue.

Not so long ago the Black Forest was dying...not much has changed.

Your utopian view whilst admirable is just plain naive, childish and in the realms of fantasy. There is no way you can feed your own let alone the planet from strictly organic practices.... the numbers are too high. Even for little old Germany. The problem is transport and storage even for little old Germany alone. But what about the other countries? This is also a stumbling block you seem to blithely ignore. You have green houses? Really? How organic is that?

You have heard of the Irish potato famine?
