Actually the future of agriculture/changing the world IS localized Permaculture agriculture. Organic farming is just one way of Permaculture, and organic farming is from the 19 century.
This is how everyone should live.

"mhm…"
WOW !! this is what people can do.. you can create heaven on earth..
This is fine as long as you don't live in NYC, Boston, LA, Chicago, Nashville, Atlanta, Philadelphia or any city over 250,000. The hundreds of millions who live in urban areas do not have access to farms or markets nor a means to store large quantities. They rely on groceries for year-round fresh food, a phenomenon that our ancestors would find beyond belief. The idea that one can travel a few miles and be presented with hundreds of veggies and fruits in the dead of winter would seem miraculous.
If sustainable farming was adapted universally we would have mass starvation. When agriculture was industrialized costs immediately dropped and for the first time, food was available on a year round basis. We also give boxes of veggies but it represents about .01% of the residents in this semi-rural setting. As someone who sells to the "Big Guys" I have never been told how to farm or what to grow.
Want to stop food waste? (1) Change throw away periods and / or allow stores to give the food to homeless shelters (currently, by law, all these good veggies and fruits must be thrown away). (2) Change consumer attitude at not buying any produce except that which is perfect (such as Whole Food's symmetric, shiny produce)
love it

Beautiful. Great to see people taking a stand against the 'it's too difficult' 'it would never work' brigade!
