Food and bioFuel - Web Seminar

Dr Dale speaks at a PIRA-BIO webinar.  Key topics addressed in this webinar include energy return on energy invested, scalability and sustainability of biofuels, and logistics & system level thinking.

Webinar description:

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.

Duration: 51 minutes
