There are fertilizers without oil production, it’s just not scaleable in comparison and fell out of favor due to other stuff.
But organic products without these kinds of fertilizers exist.
I don’t think they use these two particular things, but different countries have different Standards.
If you want to go that route, they also use tractors or other machinery using oil in some capacity.
Everything I grow is without synthetic fertilisers. Though not easy to scale up.
Is it made of oil? Thought it was gas to produce the hydrogen, so it’s only used because it’s currently cheaper.
As renewable production ramps up and we get more time with free/very cheap energy, that might change the economics behind hydrogen production. So at least from a technical perspective it should be a fairly easy one to move off fossil fuels once we have more alternative energy sources.
Fertilisers are made from oil. Kinda hard to eat something that is grown without fertilisers.

Then you get into herbicides and pesticides, both of which are majority oil. Even organic products use propane to control weeds.

Which two particular things? Organic farms use propane because they have to burn the weeds, they can’t do it any other way.
There are other ways, in general.
What other ways?
Propane isn’t the problem, at least here in germany. I used burning weeds only for some irrelevant cosmetic weed control.
But preparing the soil was done with a small 2cycles mortiser.
