> Energy-intensive agriculture is perfectly sustainable citation needed.

  Why wouldn't it be? I mean, why is being energy intensive inherently not sustainable? Surely particular inplementations could be unsustainable, but that's true of non-energy intensive agriculture as well. To help you along, I'll bring up the part that's most problematic, IMO: the production of nitrous oxide from nitrogen fertilizer. But N fertilizer is pretty much required to get yields sufficient to feed the world, so that's a problem that's going to have to be solved.
