Thought smile.
Denmark as a big farming nation, like many others rely on imported Soy pellets, often come from places where forest have been hacked down to fill that need.
Well a test run of a new plant able to " upgrade " regular grass grown here to a similar protein rich feed as the soy pellets, well the trial run on Friday seem very promising, so in 7 - 8 years Denmark will not import any Soy pellets if this is fully implemented.
The trick is to get protein out of the grass ASO, this way animals with just 1 stomach can use it much better, the left overs from production multi stomach animals like cows can eat as always
This do mean that in the scale of Denmark, 1/3 of all fields will have to be converted to the grass and similar stuff like Alfalfa - peas - beans that can also be used, but then we can feed our 13 million pigs and X million cows on home grown stuff, and then at least on that front it is not our fault the rain forest are dwindling.
So that + our other invention that will take a big hit on Methane and other nasty stuff in pig manure, well maybe we are making the world a little better here.
PS: The carbon footprint of the SOY pellets we Danes import, well it is about 80% of what Danish cars have, so it could well be a win / win for us. ( and add a win more if we can export these plants or license the design off )
