Growing the Bioeconomy:
from Foundational Science to Sustainable Practice
The 6th annual Biobased Industry Outlook Conference at Iowa State University once again attracted over 700 participants and provided a great opportunity to discuss current research, collaborate on issues facing advanced biobased products and explore climate change adaptation and mitigation innovations.
In addition to track sessions and field tours, the highlight of the conference was the point/counterpoint formatted plenary session focusing on competing processing technologies for producing biofuels: the advantages and disadvantages of food-based versus non-food feedstocks; and the impact of biofuels on climate change.
