If someone on here is new to Permaculture and doesn't quite get the idea of "inbedded energy", Logsdon's third paragraph is a perfect example of it.And if someone says raising vegetables is more ecological than raising animals, Gene's 4th paragraph is a nice balance:
http://www.energybulletin.net/35987.html
"Now compare [all the energy used to plow, fertilize, harvest, etc a crop] to another kind of farming, where the same 1,591 acres would be planted permanently to grass and clover and grazed by 1,000 head of cows or 3000 head of sheep. No annual cultivation would be needed at all. No erosion. No soil compaction. Not even half the machinery cost would be involved."
