So, conventional and organic farming are kinda at odds for they have strategies that harm each other. Conventional farming still has the issue of overkilling ecosystems, though.

expanding organic cropland can lead to increased pesticide use in surrounding non-organic fields, offsetting some environmental benefits.

It's ridiculous to call this a harm of organic farming.
