- Title
Reporting on Marginal Lands for Bioenergy Feedstock Production: a Modest Proposal.
- Authors
Richards, Brian; Stoof, Cathelijne; Cary, Ian; Woodbury, Peter
- Abstract
Growing bioenergy feedstocks can provide a long-term sustainable production system for marginal land resources and is essential for minimizing food vs. fuel competition for prime croplands. However, the term 'marginal' is too often used in research reports without being defined. We here suggest that clearly specifying the biophysical factors and agroeconomic context contributing to marginality will greatly enhance the utility and comparability of published research.
