Reducing global warming, we alongside other achievements increase agricultural yields. But it is of great danger when agriculture is aimed at producing bio-diesel based on edible harvests. It is true that replacing fossil fuel with bio-diesel can greatly help combat global warming, but the price to pay must be highly considered.
Based on a research, I realized that bio-diesel obtained from sugar cane can reduce global warming by up to 90 per cent. But what happens to our teacups when all the raw material for crystallized cane sugar is attributed a new project? The answer is just another method to combat global warming while boosting human health; NATURAL HONEY.
Apiculture involves the planting of bee-loving trees. These trees planted around water sources will not only protect them from disappearing, but will also contribute to ecological filtration which we greatly need today by reducing atmospheric carbon-dioxide gas volume. The honey obtained will be processed industrially to replace crystallized cane sugar, while the sugar cane grown is processed to achieve bio-diesel and so goodbye to the pollutant fossil fuel.
I do realize the economic consequences of this plan if properly developed and implemented, but it is just the altruistic global solution we may be dreaming of; it’s just the price to pay.
