Food Energy Flows Exploratorium
Investigating the role of food in the global sustainable energy transition and highlighting how society needs to be aware of EROEI (energy return on energy invested) dynamics of the different food sources as it transitions away from fossil fuels and changes its diet. A project by Dénes Csala and Sgouris Sgouridis at Lancaster University and Masdar Institute of Science and Technology
This is an interactive global visualization and exploration interface (exploratorium).
