A message from GSD leadership
“As the bioeconomy becomes THE economy, it is imperative we focus on building a resilient supply chain that consistently supplies the feedstocks required for a successful transition to bio-based products while ensuring a sustainable full-system design.
“Recognizing the complexity and unintended consequences of bio-manufacturing such as aquifer decline, soil health and disruption to rural economic ecosystems must all be addressed to ensure positive environmental outcomes and long- term market success.
“ The future of our country depends on a resilient and thriving rural America. It’s time to get it done.”
