Location: Integrated Cropping Systems Research
Project Number: 3080-12620-005-002-I
Project Type: Interagency Reimbursable Agreement
Start Date: Apr 1, 2016
End Date: Sep 30, 2021
Objective:
Develop and implement a landscape design process for integrating cellulosic feedstock production into existing agricultural and forestry systems while maintaining or enhancing environmental and socio-economic sustainability including ecosystem services and food, feed and fiber production.
Approach:
ARS Resilient Economic Agricultural Practice (REAP) research locations will participate in a multi-agency agency project designed to develop spatially explicit plans for resource allocation and management to integrate cellulosic bioenergy feedstocks into Midwestern and other cropping and land-use systems.
