Food and bioFuel: Land Efficient Animal Feeds Enable Large Energy and Environmental Benefits
When: September 23, 2010
10:00 am EDT /3:00 BST (click here to view in your time zone)
Duration: 60 minutes with live question + answer period (we encourage you to allow 90 minutes for full event)
Agenda:
- Almost 90% of agricultural land worldwide generates animal feed, not food for human beings directly
- There are multiple opportunities using existing technology to farm land more efficiently to generate the same amount of food (actually animal feed) while also producing large amounts of biofuels
- Integrating animal feed production with biofuel production avoids the indirect land use change effect and provides very large environmental and energy benefits, decreasing overall US GHG emissions by about 10% and petroleum imports by more than half.
Featured Speaker: Bruce Dale, Professor of Chemical Engineering and former Chair of the Department of Chemical Engineering at Michigan State University
