It's a complex problem. Has anyone seen any development of "modern"cropping technologies that don't rely on fossil fuels? I mean, we all know perfectly well that fossil fuels will run out eventually. Could a plough powered by electricity (a battery) have enough torque to pull thru soil?
ok if you don't want tis type of farming ,begin youself to sell yours cars , yours PC , yours television and buy a pairs of cows or horses to cultivates a little farm like yours ancestrors
This type of farming is too energy intensive and unsustainable. Everything relies on the availability of fuel, fertilizers, and pesticides which are also made from petroleum. Fertilizers are made from seed stock of natural gas. The farms that utilized human and animal labor are sustainable.
@HixsonLibra I agree with u that the usage of oil is not sustainable. The problem with alternatives is the cost. But as soon as the price of oil is high enough the tractors will be powered by electricity from solar or other sources. And what should we do? If it fails we can go back to human and animal labor anyway right? As long as we have oil we will go ahead and allocate resources to work on improvements.
