there's been a couple hundred studies done on this, the results vary. moreover, some of the studies i've read on this neglected to study the impact the pesticides have.
also, these studies don't investigate the impact of *non-crucial* nutrients such as flavanoids and betacarotene

the studies i've read on this show that the world currently produces the equivalent of 2786 calories per person per day. The researchers found that under an organic-only regime, farms could produce between 2641 and 4381 calories per person per day.
the issue is more in regards to distribution, not production.
