Energy is the driving force behind all contemporary economic activities, and food production and farming operations are no exception. From natural gas-rich nitrogen fertilizers, to power for irrigation and processing, to fossil fuels for cars, ships, trucks, tractors, and laser-guided farm equipment, to the gas and electricity we use at home to cook and refrigerate, energy is gobbled up in every stage along the way (figure 33).
