We used Life Cycle Assessment to scenario
model the potential reductions in cumulative energy
demand (both fossil and renewable) and global warming,
acidifying, and ozone-depleting emissions associated with
a hypothetical national transition from conventional to
organic production of four major field crops [canola
(Brassica rapa), corn (Zea mays), soy (Glycine max), and
wheat (Triticum aestivum)] in Canada.
