They offer valuable resources and practical solutions for organic and transitioning producers, as well as conventional producers interested in ecologically and economically sound practices. Positive signs are on the horizon.

The issue most cited across critiques was simple: When urban farms were separated from community gardens in the study, the higher rate of greenhouse gas emissions reported essentially disappeared. Overall, they found greenhouse gas emissions were six times higher at the urban sites—and that’s the conclusion the study led with.

But the key points are: The National Farmers Union has supported the ethanol industry as it has helped farmers maintain a stronger market and has reduced the greenhouse gas emissions of the transportation industry. The overall impact of the greenhouse gas reductions of ethanol compared to gasoline are therefore hard to balance.
