Two neighbors, Farmer A and Farmer B: both farm 1,000 acres and use the same crop rotation schedule. Farmer A tills 30% of their fields, uses cover crops on 20%, and applies anhydrous ammonia. Farmer B tills 50% of their fields, uses cover crops on 40%, and uses stable nitrogen sources. Consider this scenario.

Approximately 2 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions come from nitrogen fertilizers , according to a study in Nature. The entire industrial agri-business-based system needs fertilizers and pesticides to function,” Tostado says. Food production “doesn’t even start at the farm, it starts at the fossils.
