Energy Inputs in Food Crop Production in Developing and Developed Nations
Open Access
Abstract
Detailed energy outputs and inputs were assessed for the following crops, cultured in the U.S. and developing countries: corn, wheat, rice, soy, potato, cassava, tomato, citrus and apple. In addition, the labor input for each crop was analyzed.Keywords
