Abstract
Over the last 50 years, global agricultural food production has become increasingly dependent on the use of non-renewable and/or scarce resources, and, in particular, fossil fuel (e.g., for the production of mineral N-fertilizer and pesticides), mined minerals used as P and K fertilizers, and water used for irrigation. The costs of these inputs have increased more rapidly than farm gate prices, and this is thought to have a negative impact on farm incomes, crop yields, and food security [1,2,3]. There is also mounting evidence that the increased use of agrochemical inputs has had a negative impact on (i) soil and crop health; (ii) the nutritional quality of foods; and (iii) biodiversity, resource use efficiency, and the overall carbon footprint of food production.
