There is no label in a grocery store that guarantees the food was produced using methods that are healing the planet. A monoculture field of organic lettuce is only marginally less damaging than a field of conventional monoculture of lettuce. Both destroy soil through excessive tillage, both rely on significant amounts of irrigation water, both are annual crops and neither crop will have recycled nutrients applied. There is little similarity between a field of lettuce and an ecosystem.
