Food and fuel: model for bioenergy feedstock/vegetable double-cropping systems

Sunday, May 10, 2015 - 10:00 in Mathematics & Economics

Researchers realize that biomass feedstock will need to come from many different sources, in order to meet the revised Renewable Fuel Standard mandating the production of 36 billion gallons of biofuel by the year 2022.
