I was at Aldo Leopold's «Shack» in Baraboo, Wis.; at the World Food Prize Foundation conference in Des Moines; and then out in the fields of Ames, Iowa, where a sustainable - agriculture team at Iowa State University is showing how to grow bountiful crops of
soybeans and
corn with far less fertilizer and pesticide
than is used in the standard industrial - style pattern of planting.
Biodiesel derived from
soybeans, while expensive to produce, comes at a much lower environmental price and a much better EROEI
than corn ethanol.
Experiments in Quebec found that
soybeans, a major legume oilseed crop in eastern Canada, produced lower nitrous oxide emissions
than corn, the major cereal crop grown in the eastern region.
Focusing on the carbon emissions associated with tropical deforestation, it showed that converting rainforests or grasslands to
corn,
soybean, or palm oil biofuel production led to a carbon emissions increase — a «biofuel carbon debt» — that was at least 37 times greater
than the annual reduction in greenhouse gases resulting from the shift from fossil fuels to biofuels.
Current annual production of some crops (like wheat,
corn, and
soybean) are greater
than annual domestic consumption in the U.S., allowing for export.
The peak in United States wheat production is probably due to the shifting of wheat area to
corn and
soybeans areas to make biofuels (ethanol from
corn and biodiesel from
soybeans) rather
than the current peaking of crude - oil extraction
• Biodiesel production using
soybean required 27 % more fossil energy
than the biodiesel fuel produced (Note, the energy yield from soy oil per hectare is far lower
than the ethanol yield from
corn).
It turns out, however, that since
corn yields in the U.S. Midwest are three to four times those of
soybeans, it may be more resource - efficient to produce
corn and convert it into poultry or catfish at a ratio of two to one
than to have everyone heavily reliant on soy.
According to one commenter: «CSPI (Centre for Science in the Public Interest) says: «The ad urges consumers to read labels and to select products with non-hydrogenated
soybean,
corn, canola, or peanut oils, all of which are more environmentally friendly and better for human hearts and arteries
than palm oil.
Corn is our most lavishly subsidized food crop, by a wide margin; it drew more in subsidies over that period
than wheat ($ 22 billion),
soybeans ($ 14 billion), and rice ($ 11 billion)-- combined.
After the federal Renewable Fuel Standard was signed into law in 2007, many
corn growers decided to plant
corn year after year to profit from higher prices, rather
than switching between
corn and
soybeans, for example.
Based on a decade of research at the Cedar Creek Natural History Area, a 2200 - hectare experimental ecological reserve operated by the University of Minnesota, Tilman said that diverse mixtures of plants that mimic the native prairie ecosystem are a better source of biofuels
than corn ethanol or
soybean biodiesel.
In other words, cellulosic conversion technology could easily drive deforestation, especially in the tropics where converting natural systems to fuel would be easier
than planting potential fuel - crops like oil palm, sugar cane,
soybeans, or
corn.
Led by David Tilman, a biology professor at the University of Minnesota, the research shows that «mixtures of native perennial grasses and other flowering plants provide more usable energy per acre
than corn grain ethanol or
soybean biodiesel and are far better for the environment,» according to a release from the University of Minnesota.
