Is vacuum insulation better at insulating than aerogel insulation?
Vacuum insulation and aerogel insulation both have their own unique properties that make them effective insulators. Vacuum insulation relies on creating a vacuum between two layers of material to minimize heat transfer through conduction and convection, while aerogel insulation is a lightweight, porous material that traps air in its structure to minimize heat transfer. In general, vacuum insulation is better at insulating than aerogel insulation, as it can effectively minimize all three modes of heat transfer (conduction, convection, and radiation) due to the absence of air or gas molecules. However, aerogel insulation is still highly effective and has the advantage of being lightweight and flexible, making it suitable for certain applications.

The Bioeconomy : Institutions, Innovation and Sustainability
The bioeconomy is steadily becoming more important in regional, national and European public policies.As it encompasses the transformation of agricultural, marine and organic resources into food, feed, fuels, energy and materials, the bioeconomy should become a major new industry, outlining the possibility of a post-fossil future.This book is the first attempt to depict the origins, formation and challenges of this new industry in terms of emerging institutions, innovation and economic strategies.The result of this work is that the substitution of raw materials alone is not enough to get out of the fossil economy. This book develops a political economy of the ecological transition which theorizes the transition as a new crisis of capitalism.This phase is characterized by stakeholders’ attempts to develop renewed rationales and strategies to take control of the reorganization of flows of natural resources, their outcomes and their evaluation.The proposed framework considers recent results in four complementary research strands: transition studies, institutional economics, ecological economics and the evolutionary economics of innovation. The book will be of interest to researchers interested in the development of the bioeconomy, and both researchers and students seeking to understand the role of heterodox economics in the ecological transition.

Agricultural Innovation for Societal Change : Towards Sustainability
Over the centuries, agriculture has developed through technological steps illustrated by various agricultural revolutions.This book describes and analyses significant agricultural changes since the mid-1960s in the context of development, innovation and adoption by revisiting resource-poor farmers in Ethiopia, Sweden and Trinidad and Tobago, and considering overall development changes up to the early 2020s.It is a platform for discussing current issues for future global food security in the context of globalization and free global trade which have influenced economic growth in many countries but also created environmental concerns and a rapid increase in the number of transnational corporations (TNCs).Sustainable food production is now a global priority and therefore ecological footprints must be reduced - this book provides examples of possible technical changes required to achieve this.Reducing greenhouse gas emissions alone is insufficient: political attention must be paid to declining biodiversity, the increasing global exploration of natural resources, demography, increased consumption, waste mountains, expanding migration and antibiotic resistance.Agribusiness TNCs will challenge national governments and international donors in both research and development, increasing competition for leadership.A gradual societal change, incorporating an understanding of biological fundamentals, is necessary for achieving sustainability and for leading us towards the next agricultural revolution.
