evidence: We urgently need to step up support for greener alternatives to AD, by redirecting the millions in public subsidies demanded by the AD industry. Halving UK food waste, and planting trees on the millions of hectares of grassland spared by this, could save and offset more emissions than are caused by the entire UK domestic agriculture sector. It would also free up cropland to grow enough potatoes and peas to feed 28% of the UK population. Halving the UK’s consumption of beef, lamb and dairy, and planting trees on the grassland spared by this, would again save more emissions than the whole UK agriculture sector. And the land the AD industry wants to grow maize and grass for AD could instead be used to grow enough peas to feed 1 million people per year, or generate roughly 12-18 times more energy through solar energy. Electrification of everything from transport to heating needs to be fast-tracked as quickly as possible. AD will have some role to play in a sustainable future, but it must be kept within its "sustainable niche".
