Why does conventional farming produce a larger yield than organic farming?

Oganic vs Conventional Farming

An advantage of organic farming is that no chemicals are used for insect or weed control and soil is built up through natural means, like using compost, instead of using chemical fertilizers. Some believe that these methods provide healthier food.

Advantages of conventional farming include using insecticides and pesticides to control pests, which can be quicker and more effective than using natural means, although the chemicals can get into the crops. This can decrease the time and effort necessary to control pests. Also, unless a great deal of effort is made in organic farming to build up the soil naturally,

To me, organic farming is better than conventional farming because I desire my food to be free of chemicals. To someone else, conventional farming is better for other reasons. While there are probably many scientific studies that claim one or the other method is better, it's really up to the individual to decide for themselves based on what their goals and desires are for the foods they produce and eat.
