India has been doing quite well with organic methods for growing rice that produce very competitive yields [1]. Yes, it is more labor intensive, but from a climate-change perspective and a resilience perspective (much less dependence on petrochemicals) it has some big advantages. > If we stop using artificial fertilizers, how are we going to get that nitrogen? Many legume crops are able to capture their own nitrogen from the atmosphere by using bacterial symbionts. Crop rotations with legume crops are one way we already take advantage of this. Genetic engineering could allow more types of crops to form symbiotic relationships with these bacteria.
