Ethanol Report on Land Use
Comment on this post
Posted by Cindy Zimmerman – November 17th, 2008
In this “Ethanol Report” podcast, Geoff Cooper of the Renewable Fuels Association talks about a new land use report just released.
The report systematically refutes claims that ethanol production will divert land from agricultural use, stressing that agricultural land can expand without “jeopardizing forest or other sensitive lands.”
The report also gives historical context to global agricultural land use as well as the impact of increased grain demand on sustainability and the role of the ethanol co-product distillers grains used for animal feed.
