Which takes more energy?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Synthesis of pesticides and fertilizers require a significant amount of energy, as they are produced using fossil fuels and involve multiple steps of processing. Organic farming relies on natural methods of pest and weed control, and does not use synthetic fertilizers, reducing the energy needed for production. Crop rotation improves soil fertility and reduces pest and disease pressure, but does not significantly impact energy use. Therefore, the production of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers is the most energy-intensive farming practice.
