Making bread and beer, sugar and biofuel from plants at the Cambridge Science Festival
Turning plants into food to eat, beer to drink and even fuel for our cars is the focus of an interactive demonstration at the Cambridge Science Festival on Saturday 13th March.
“Our ‘Crops for Food-Crops for Fuel’ exhibition will show how all the crops in fields surrounding Cambridge and across East Anglia are turned into bread, sugar, beer, cooking oil and biodiesel,” explains Dr Lydia Smith from Cambridge-based plant research organisation NIAB.
