If I'm buying organic food at the local farmers market, the fuel saved in not shipping it from California more than makes up for the increase use in production.
And this "land use" argument is bizzare since is usually comes from meat eaters who don't give a crap about reducing land usage. Eating meat takes up FAR more land than that needed for a plant based diet. Yet that rarely comes up from the anti-organic side. I wonder why.

I think there is a difference between farmers market and the organic food found on the shelves of Walmart.
Tyler Foods is also in the process of supplying the world with organic food. The environmental footprint that it takes to produce that organic food is a lot better than the footprint of producing non-organic food.
