It's a major undertaking to switch from conventional to organic farming. Much more labor intensive, can take a few years for pesticide residues to dissipate, not even possible in some location due to neighbors. Not something most farmers are in a position to do, at least for their entire acreage.

So what? Do we continue because we're f* up anyway?

I don't think it's an option to consider alternatives in this case.
