This booklet by Foodrise investigates the growing biomethane sector and argues it is inefficient, expensive and locks Europe into fossil infrastructure and industrial livestock production. 

This study maps the U.S. agri-food distribution onto real-world highways, railways and waterways to quantify the trade-offs between cost, carbon emissions, and path redundancy across different transport modes. It finds that highways cost three times as much, produce 60 times more carbon and have the highest path redundancy relative to waterways. 

TABLE interviews Tom Heap about his new book Land Smart in which he explores many difficult tensions and trade-offs in land use, from biofuels versus solar panels and regenerative farming to biotechnology, and tiptoes into the emotionally-laden debate of dietary change – revealing his penchant for pragmatism.
