- hinkley 4y agoI used calories because it’s comparatively easy to find lists of staple crops ranked by calories per hectare, and it gets discussed among homesteaders, smallholders and permaculture people at regular intervals. Conversion efficiency is going to give you proportional results. If you’re trying to determine how many miles your car or jet can go it’s not accurate enough. But if you’re comparing crops to each other it should be fine.
