Comments on: Biofuels and Land Use Problems http://pathsoflight.us/musing/2006/04/biofuels-and-land-use-problems/ A Friend looks at (mostly) the environment: "Let all nations hear the sound by word or writing. Spare not place, spare not tongue, nor pen...This is the word of the Lord God to you all, a charge to you all in the presence of the living God; be patterns, be examples in all countries, places, islands, nations, wherever you come; that your life and conduct may preach among all sorts of people, and to them. Then you will come to walk cheerfully over the world, answering that of God in every one...Spare no deceit." George Fox Fri, 05 Apr 2013 19:34:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Pat Wolff http://pathsoflight.us/musing/2006/04/biofuels-and-land-use-problems/comment-page-1/#comment-847 Pat Wolff Sat, 15 Apr 2006 23:58:56 +0000 http://pathsoflight.us/musing/?p=105#comment-847 I have begun reading “All Flesh is Grass,” by Gene Logsdon, which discusses the productivity available in pasture farming, which could reduce the amount of land given over to grain production for animal feed, which could allow more for biofuel farming, among other benefits, such as reduction of topsoil loss, reduction of size of farms (corporate farming), multiple uses of land, and other benefits. He proposes that the predominance of grain crops is an accident of history, and actually less efficient. Book has some humor, too, which always helps me stay interested. I find it available at the Berkeley Public Library in 633.2 L829a .
