En savoir plus sur le livre

The book explores the potential for transforming a significant portion of the North American Great Plains into biomass-energy crop production, aiming to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and mitigate rising carbon dioxide levels contributing to global warming. It discusses the environmental and economic benefits of this land-use change, particularly in light of increasing greenhouse gas emissions and the likelihood of drier, warmer conditions in the region due to climate change. The analysis highlights the urgency of addressing these challenges in one of the world's key agricultural areas.
