Ah a chipper - something we haven't thought about yet. We live out in the middle of nowhere where it rains most of the year, so we can easily and safely burn our yard waste. After the goats get through with it and after we pull everything we can use to heat our home in the winter, we actually don't have much left over. We've only had to burn once in the last year and it wasn't a very big pile. Our property is so small and pretty much our only trees are fruit bearing ones that get pruned yearly (and the goats take care of the blackberries), so yard waste for us is minimal.
I don't have my book with me to look up the source, but if I remember correctly, in "In Defense of Food" didn't Michael Pollan cite some studies done about the nutritional difference between GMO conventionally farmed produce and OP organically grown items?
