Is methanization compliant with peasant agriculture? For an energy project compliant with peasant agriculture. Supplement to 'Campagnes Solidaires' n. 356

Whereas the development of methanization in France could be interesting, this publication outlines that this development could lead to the implementation of a concept possibly diverted by an economic system which looks for profit on the short term. Thus, it outlines and discusses limitations and risks of methanization regarding land grabbing, the uncertainty of the supposed additional revenue for farmers, the risk to freeze agricultural systems, the issue of digestate management. In a second part, it states some orientations for an energy project compliant with a peasant agriculture through energy saving, and through the development of a peasant methanization while impeding a methanization which grabs resources.
