Yes it is. And not only does fertilizer take significant amounts of power, it also uses hydrogen as a reagent which is sourced from fossil fuels. But despite that, it is still "cheap" because the alternative is using twice as much land, and smaller farmers who are most interested in regenerative farming don't have the capital to double their land usage which is a problem. They are getting beat out by larger scale corporate farms that aren't worried about the state of the land 30 years down the road.
