[QUOTE="Ffermer Bach, post: 8079378, member: 51054"] I totally agree, I know fertliser is now very expensive, but more than that, I wonder is it a good idea to dig up fossil fuels to maker fertliser to grow food, I think we need to be looking at how many calories (or joules for the metric) of energy it takes to produce 1 calorie of food, my gut feeling is that regenerative ag is far more efficient, my one issue with organic is having to plough up and reseed pastures to keep them efficient (and every time you plough carbon is liberated from the soil), but a good royal commission is needed to look at this, and the yield reductions from not using fertliser too.
