Last week 8,000 people converged on Washington DC for the annual meeting of the Association of American Geographers. They gathered to share research on everything from climate models to beards. Our own John Wall and Carol Hunsberger were at the conference, presented their work, and lived to tell the tale, sharing their experiences of the conference known as ‘Geograpalooza’.
Later on the show we heard from Carol about the research she presented in DC. Many countries are looking to biofuels to help them meet climate change targets, but not all biofuels are equal. Carol will take us to Kenya, where she studied the politics of biofuel production and the experiences of small farmers who are trying to grow an energy crop called Jatropha.
