A Provocative Question: Do We Need More Food in EU?

Organic farming applies nature-based solutions to sustain agricultural production with minimum use of synthetic fertilizers and pest or fungicides. It promotes biodiversity, environmental quality and public health. In addition, there is evidence that organic farming might result in lower overall greenhouse gas emissions than conventional farming, and might contribute to carbon sequestration in soils. 
However, organic farming leads to lower yields per area compared to conventional farming. This is really not surprising since conventional farming is optimised to deliver higher yields. In contrast, organic farming aims at improving multiple ecosystem services of agroecosystems. And my point: is it sensible to avoid organic farming in European Union (EU) because of its lower yield, when food waste is enormous?
According to EUROSTAT, about 60 million tonnes of food is wasted annually in EU. This translates to 131 kg per citizen annually, and totals about 132 billion Euros. Wouldn't it be better to promote organic farming in the frame of sustainable degrowth? This way, we would protect the environment and public health and welfare. In addition, we would save vital resources, i.e., energy, nitrogen, phosphorus even greenhouse gas emissions, that are needed elsewhere. 
And here does a disclaimer: this is not to say there is no malnutrition in EU. Accessibility to food rather than food quantity is the root of malnutrition. Sticking to conventional farming instead of organic farming doesn't solve this problem. 
The lower yield under organic farming can lead to increased food prices due to high demand and lower supply. EU or national budgets might need to cover for this. However, global change and climate change will also lead to higher food prices if action is not taken. And public health deterioration also comes at a great cost to national budgets. Is my take too romantic on this? Am I mission the socioeconomic aspect of this issue? Your thoughts are welcome.
