📝 New article on Our World in Data: Is organic farming better for the environment than conventional farming?
Why it spread
This post spread because it addressed a hot topic that week with an independent author, and it reached 23,262 views, 270 likes, 73 reposts, 10 quotes and 75 saves, with a quote rate above average and a source reach in the top quarter.
What worked
- The post tackled a common and timely question about whether organic farming is better for the environment than conventional farming, which matched a hot topic that week.
- It came from an independent author, which likely added credibility and interest beyond the account itself.
- The chart was a scatter showing environmental impacts of organic versus conventional farming, with medium design polish, medium self labelling, a source line and branding, all of which supported a clear comparison.
What to borrow
We could use the same framing by taking a frequent question our audience asks and answering it with a scatter chart that compares two approaches on environmental impacts, while keeping a visible source line and our branding.
Careful
Do not over read the absence of points, comments and account typical likes, and do not assume the scatter form or the medium polish alone caused the spread, since the hot topic and independent author are the stated main reasons.
