Program: Expansion of the bioeconomy has the potential to benefit
rural communities.
However, there are also negative impacts of the bioeconomy. To maximize the
positive impacts and minimize the negative impacts of the bioeconomy, it is
important to assess the current conditions important for bioeconomic growth,
and consider the opinions and preferences of rural residents who would be
affected by it. This program will identify the potential impacts of the
bioeconomy and make recommendations for growth based on a feedstock assessment,
transportation infrastructure analysis, and community survey.
