Our goal is to develop, refine, and implement a portfolio of sustainable bioenergy feedstock production systems that together contribute significantly to reducing dependence on foreign oil; have net positive social, environmental, and rural economic impacts; and are compatible with existing agricultural systems. We achieve this through research, education, and outreach on the agronomic, economic, and environmental performance of biomass cropping systems.  

The team wishes to acknowledge the substantial intellectual and collaborative contributions of the late Cynthia Cambardella and Rick Hall.
