Fossil Energy Use in Conventional and Low-External-Input Cropping Systems

CONVENTIONAL AGRICULTURE PRODUCTION systems in developed countries rely heavily on fossil energy, but emerging uncertainties in energy supply indicate a need to better understand energy efficiency in conventional and alternative systems. We used 6 yr of data from a cropping systems experiment conduc...
