Slightly true.

The environmental footprint that it takes to produce that organic food is a lot better than the footprint of producing non-organic food.
Factually incorrect. Because of the yield differential between organic and non-organic crops, organic crops need more land to produce as much as the organic counterparts. Right now there's also a shortage of organic products, which leads to them being shipped from further and further away.
