* I heard that even among organic farmers, it was not a clear 2× yes.
* There is the question of efficiency of organic/no pesticide farming: are we going to have a really bad output and something less ecological in the end due to more work for the same amount of food produced?
* Am I just a bourgeois voting for my trendy ideals, not seeing that poorer people won't have the money to pay for heightened prices?
* Am I just a city-dweller that thinks farming is easy peasy, putting even more strain on the farmers, whose lifes as hard enough as it is?
* Are we going to rely more on importation, thus simply externalizing the problem (seemingly the initiative take care of this question)?
All this to say: I'm not confident enough in my knowledge of farming and ecology to yet say I'm going to vote 2× yes.
As in paying money to destroy the soil and help someone profit a bit extra in the process is maybe not the best investment of people’s taxes.
Of course, it took us some time to start paying attention to the externalities. But now that we do let’s correct course.
