Organic farming tends to perform better on ecotoxicity metrics and can support more biodiversity on a given farm. Conventional farming consistently wins in land use; it achieves higher yields, so it requires less land to grow a given amount of food.

Textiles are one of the biggest sources of #PFAS pollution in Europe, but as illustrated in this figure, the current level of knowledge about human toxicity and ecotoxicity is limited to a small number of compounds

Yep but did the colleagues test the ecotoxicity of oligomers (true question)? 🤔
Inspired by natural polymers like DNA, chemists have devised a way to engineer plastic so it breaks down when it is no longer needed, rather than polluting the environment
Plastic can be programmed to have a lifespan of days, months or years

Their "ecotoxicity" metric is "are you using pesticides/herbicides/etc", so it's by definition a win for organic, because that's basically the definition of organic farming. It's not actually a measure of planetary harm.
