DAVID RAM is an academic who published a paper in 2009 entitled Implementing sustainable production techniques at the UBC Farm : the UBC Farm as a living laboratory. DAVID RAM published this work as part of a team: Pfoh, Jenna. Here is a description of this work: As part of the UBC Food System Project (UBCFS) our group helped research and establish biofuel demonstration plots at the UBC Farm for canola, a first-generation biofuel, and miscanthus, a second-generation biofuel. Our research compares and contrasts these two crops in terms of growing capabilities and processing technologies, and contextualizes this information as it relates to the UBC Farm. After analyzing the soil and climate conditions of the UBC Farm, we deduced that both crops can potentially have all of their nutritional and climate requirements met once issues regarding adequate nitrogen for canola, and sufficient drainage for miscanthus are addressed. We believe that producing, processing and utilizing canola and its end product (biodiesel) is feasible within the boundaries of the UBC campus. On the other hand, misca.
