Reconsidering the ecological debate around energy crops
Bioenergy Crops for Ecosystem Health and Sustainability examines a central tension in bioenergy policy: the use of land for energy crops alongside demands for food production and biodiversity conservation. Alex Baumber challenges the assumption that energy cropping is inherently harmful to ecosystems, placing commonly held views about biofuels and bioenergy under scrutiny. The book’s subject is less a simple endorsement of bioenergy than a reconsideration of how its environmental consequences are framed and assessed.
Based on publisher information and book metadata.
The growing of crops for bioenergy has been subject to recent criticism, as taking away land which could be used for food production or biodiversity conservation. This book challenges some commonly-held ideas about biofuels, bioenergy and energy cropping, particularly that energy crops pose an inherent threat to ecosystems.
