Are there organic gardeners who are also rigorous scientists?

Even if amateur scientists? With agronomists and horticulturists and sharp farmers of course included.

Are there people who approach organic gardening completely without ideology or undue naivety or rationalization?

People who instead realistically analyze the pluses AND the minuses?

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against even the faith-based home gardeners, they are fine. It is totally their right. I have nothing at all against organic gardening and am about half-way over to that side myself.

I merely ask does anyone approach it with eyes wide open, critically aware of the both benefits AND limitations? And aware of the snake-oil aspect of many who peddle or preach to it?

I like no-spray and minimal spray and organic spray and organic fertilizer and such, where they work, which is reasonably frequently. But the belief-system of the tribe does takes some getting used to I must admit.
