Cover crop acres increased to 18 million total acres, a 17% increase, but when compared to total farmland, this represents only 6% of 300 million acres. As Emma Fuller at Fractal Agriculture pointed out, “at the current rate, it’d take us 90 years to achieve cover crop adoption on 50% of corn and soy acres in the U.S.”
Terviva has been developing elite pongamia cultivars over 15 years of research trials spanning nearly 2,000 acres in Florida, Hawai’i and Australia. “Terviva’s pongamia trees produce three or more metric tons of beans per acre, which feature a high oil content,” said Sikka. Australia, and other parts of the world.
Once the Clean Water Act passed in 1972, many chemicals and toxins that had flowed freely from paper mills into Maine’s rivers started to be processed through sewage plants. This year,” says Stanley, “We’re sending samples to the University of Minnesota to test breaking [the hemp] down and turning it into biofuels.”

The process of getting the bees to the almonds adds another stressor. million acres of almond trees bearing nuts and another 300,000 acres of trees still too young to need pollination. Each acre of mature trees is supposed to be pollinated by two honeybee colonies.

The farm is a beautiful certified organic working farm situated on 90 acres in the south-central part of the state where they grow vegetables and raise beef, lamb, and layers. This biodigester project comes after years of biofuel research and experimentation by Steiman at the college.
As Brian Paddock walks through his 12-and-a-half acres of almond trees, he’s taking in everything. Treehouse Almonds sources nuts from roughly 50,000 acres in California’s Central Valley, and Gardiner’s family farm provides about 20,000 of them. The shells are used in cosmetics, as bedding for livestock and in biofuels.
Commercially, we’ve been on many hundreds of thousands of acres, spread relatively evenly across cropping and grazing lands in the US. We’re also involved in measuring soil carbon, for the purpose of low carbon intensity fuels, biofuels that have stronger carbon intensity performance than petroleum-based fuels.

In recent years, seaweed has been put forth as what one writer called a Swiss Army knife solution to climate change: able to absorb atmospheric carbon, reduce cattle’s methane emissions, provide feedstock for biofuels, and feed the world — no fertilizers, fresh water, or even land required. These concerns aren’t hypothetical. he asked. “Is
With an average of over 20 million seeded acres in Canada, canola is one of Canada’s most widely grown crops. Used for cooking oil, processing foods, biofuel and protein for both animal feed and human consumption, it’s safe to say that it’s important to keep this vital crop protected from diseases such as clubroot, a.
Now seen as a “future-proof” material, seaweed is a hardy, fast-growing protein source useful for everything from biofuel to petroleum-free plastic to consumer goods like utensils , soap , clothing , and of course, food. Now, they’re managing a 5-acre sea farm in Englishman Bay and cultivating thousands of pounds of kelp in the process.
The announcement was welcomed by the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) , which has been fighting to break down barriers to the environmentally friendly biofuels. The Renewable Fuels Association welcomed Lucas E3, Aon Risk Services, Ocean Park, Cereal Process Technologies, and StormFisher Hydrogen as its newest associate members.
These products are essential tools for users to protect not only Americas food, fiber, and biofuel; but also, to protect public health from vector-borne disease, safeguard our infrastructure from the damage caused by pests, and mitigate the increasing threat to the environment from invasive species. This includes millions acres of U.S.
To make way for those industrial fields of palm trees, some 30,000 acres of rainforest were cut down, a swath of destruction that one Indigenous leader called an act of “eco-genocide.” He marveled at the efficiency of the African oil palm, which can produce five times as much edible oil per acre as corn or soy.
