Giant miscanthus, also known as Freedom miscanthus, is a perennial grass that can yield 20+ tons per acre annually, making it a promising bioenergy crop for the Southeast. It requires low inputs, is highly drought tolerant, and can grow on marginal soils. Commercialization efforts are scaling up plantings of the grass through a licensed grower network to establish a sustainable supply chain for biomass end users. Over 500 acres of the grass have already been planted to provide a foundation stock for further expansion.
MSU Biofuel conference
Freedom giant miscanthus is being commercialized as a feedstock for biofuels and biomaterials. It is a perennial grass that is well-suited to growing in the southeastern US, producing high and stable yields with low inputs. It was developed at Michigan State University and is the only named and certified variety for the region. Commercialization efforts include establishing foundation stock, growing demonstration plots, and developing the supply chain infrastructure needed for harvesting, storing, and transporting the biomass. The goal is to plant 50,000 to 100,000 acres in 2011 and achieve exponential growth in acreage in subsequent years.

GM crops for reducing greenhouse gas emissions - Rick RoushClimate Change Research Strategy for Primary Industries
GM crops can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions in three main ways:
1) They allow for reduced use of pesticides and fertilizers, which saves on fuel used in farming equipment and leads to less nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas, escaping into the atmosphere from fertilized fields.
2) Crops with improved nitrogen use efficiency traits require less nitrogen fertilizer, reducing associated greenhouse gas emissions from fertilizer production and runoff.
3) Drought tolerant crops in development could help farmers conserve water while maintaining yields, providing an adaptation strategy for climate change.Recommended

- Agroforestry, which involves integrating trees into agricultural landscapes, is an essential resilience tool to address future food security challenges. It can help increase food production on existing land while making farms more resistant to weather extremes and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
- By 2050, global population growth will require 60% more food production on similar land, while making agriculture more resilient to climate change and reducing emissions. Agroforestry can help achieve these goals through increased yields, soil fertility improvements, weather protection, and carbon sequestration.
- Research shows that agroforestry practices like fertilizer trees can significantly increase crop yields compared to non-tree systems or chemical fertilizers alone. These yield gains have been observed

Vertical Farming
Vertical farming is a method of growing crops in vertically stacked layers or inclined surfaces in a controlled environment. It uses techniques like hydroponics, aquaponics, and aeroponics to grow plants without soil. Vertical farming allows for higher crop yields per square meter of land used, reduces water usage by 95%, and does not rely on outdoor weather conditions. It is a way to address issues of food security, sustainability, and land usage as urbanization increases.
Drylands security and agroforestry
This document discusses agroforestry as an essential tool for climate resilience. It summarizes that by 2050, food production will need to increase 60% on the same land area while making farms more resilient to climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Agroforestry brings many benefits like increased soil fertility and crop yields through the use of fertilizer trees. Studies show agroforestry systems can produce higher yields than chemical fertilizers alone. Agroforestry also improves climate resilience by buffering weather impacts and storing large amounts of carbon in soils and trees. The document argues agroforestry is key to achieving food security and climate goals by 2050 by sustainably increasing production while reducing emissions and adapting to climate change.
Organic Greenhouse Vegetable Production

This document summarizes research on developing new agronomic techniques for growing high quality organic sweet corn in maritime Canada. The researchers established test plots to compare a high intensity crop rotation with three vegetable crops in four years to a low intensity rotation with one vegetable crop every four years. They found that transplanting corn was necessary to establish stands due to cool, wet spring conditions that caused direct seeded seeds to rot. Using red clover as a cover crop, zone tilling it into the soil, and applying biodegradable mini mulch helped establish the corn transplants and provided nitrogen. With this system, they achieved marketable yields of 35,375 ears per hectare worth $26,531 at $9 per dozen,

Polyhouse farming is an alternative to traditional farming in India that provides better income through reduced dependency on rainfall and optimized use of land and water. It allows farmers to grow high-value crops off-season and in conditions not normally suitable, commanding higher prices. However, polyhouse farming requires expertise in construction, cultivation techniques, and marketing to realize its full potential, such as generating an estimated annual income of Rs. 45,000-50,000 from a 500 square meter polyhouse compared to Rs. 10,000-20,000 from traditional farming.
Crisis in Africa's drylands: the promise of agroforestry
The document discusses the challenges facing Africa's drylands, including more erratic rainfall, increasing temperatures, declining soil fertility, and a growing population. It highlights farmer-managed natural regeneration in Niger as a success story for reversing desertification. It promotes agroforestry approaches like fertilizer and fodder trees as part of a climate-smart agriculture to restore productivity. These approaches include techniques like microdose fertilizer application, contour stone bunds, and rainwater harvesting. The document concludes by advocating for widespread adoption of Evergreen Agriculture across Africa to promote land regeneration and food security through integrated soil fertility management and conservation agriculture combined with trees.

Climate-smart agriculture aims to sustainably increase productivity and incomes, adapt and build resilience to climate change, and reduce and/or remove greenhouse gas emissions. It involves adopting various agricultural practices at the local, national, and global scales that improve food security through higher yields while addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation. However, constraints like a lack of knowledge and training, insecure land tenure, and short-term losses versus long-term benefits can inhibit smallholders from adopting climate-smart practices.Fea_Littlejohn
This document discusses the integration of second-generation bioenergy crops into farming systems as a way to avoid competition for land between food and fuel production. It provides an example from New Zealand where Miscanthus grass is grown as shelterbelts on dairy farms. The shelterbelts provide multiple ecosystem services, including shelter for livestock, a harvestable crop, and habitat for beneficial insects. Farms with Miscanthus shelterbelts showed increased pasture yields from reduced evapotranspiration in sheltered areas and positive impacts on soil and insects. By producing bioenergy as a co-product of dairy farming, the need to replace food-productive land is reduced. The ecosystem services provided by integrated bioenergy crops can improve farming sustainability and

Cassava Stems multiplication www.cassabisconsulting.com
Armando Bedoya developed a rapid macropropagation technique for cassava and other crops using a hydroponic autotrophic system. This method involves taking cuttings from the leaves of 3-4 month old cassava plants, treating them with a liquid solution, and placing them in a humidity-controlled greenhouse. This exponential growth technique can produce over 1 million plants per year from one plant, compared to 10-30 plants through traditional propagation methods. The system provides advantages such as expedited propagation, low costs, and disease/pest-free plant transfer. Future research could explore applying this to additional crops and understanding the biological processes involved.
Energy crops their worldwide usage Data and
Energy crops
Introduction
An energy crop is a plant grown as a low-cost and low-maintenance harvest used to make biofuels, such as bioethanol, or combusted for its energy content to generate electricity or heat. Energy cropsare generally categorized as woody or herbaceous plants; many of the latter are grasses (Graminaceae).
Commercial energy crops are typically densely planted, high-yielding crop species where the energy crops will be burnt to generate power. Woody crops such as willow or poplar are widely utilised, as well as temperate grasses such as Miscanthus and Pennisetum purpureum (both known as elephant grass). If carbohydrate content is desired for the production of biogas, whole-crops such as maize,Sudan grass, millet, white sweet clover and many others, can be made into silage and then converted into biogas.
Through genetic modification and application of biotechnology plants can be manipulated to create greater yields, reduce associated costs and require less water. However, high energy yield can be realized with existing cultivars.
Type of energy crops
1. Solid biomass
Energy generated by burning plants grown for the purpose, often after the dry matter is pelletized. Energy crops are used for firing power plants, either alone or co-fired with other fuels. Alternatively they may be used for heat or combined heat and power (CHP) production.
2. Gas biomass (methane)
Anaerobic digesters or biogas plants can be directly supplemented with energy crops once they have been ensiled into silage. The fastest growing sector of German biofarming has been in the area of "Renewable Energy Crops" on nearly 500,000 ha of land (2006) Energy crops can also be grown to boost gas yields where feedstocks have low energy content, such as manures and spoiled grain. It is estimated that the energy yield presently of bioenergy crops converted via silage to methane is about 2 GWh/km². Small mixed cropping enterprises with animals can use a portion of their acreage to grow and convert energy crops and sustain the entire farms energy requirements with about 1/5 the acreage. In Europe and especially Germany, however, this rapid growth has occurred only with substantial government support, as in the German bonus system for renewable energy. Similar developments of integrating crop farming and bioenergy production via silage-methane have been almost entirely overlooked in N. America, where political and structural issues and a huge continued push to centralize energy production has overshadowed positive developments.
3. Liquid biomass
Biodiesel
European production of biodiesel from energy crops has grown steadily in the last decade, principally focused on rapeseed used for oil and energy. Production of oil/biodiesel from rape covers more than 12,000 km² in Germany alone, and has doubled in the past 15 years. Typical yield of oil as pure biodiesel may be is 100,000 L/km² or more, making biodiesel crops economically attra
Biofuels: Think outside the Barrel - April 2006
The document discusses the potential for widespread adoption of ethanol as a transportation fuel in the United States. It argues that ethanol could replace much of the gasoline used for cars and trucks in a relatively short time frame using existing vehicle and fuel distribution infrastructure. Transitioning to widespread use of ethanol could provide economic, energy security, and environmental benefits while requiring modest changes and utilizing current agricultural lands and waste products to produce the necessary feedstocks.

Вирощування енергетичних рослин як сегмент біоенергетики має розвиватися раціонально у контексті сьогоднішніх викликів.
«Питання енергетичної безпеки, які ми обговорюємо і підходи до якої ми розвиваємо в дискусіях спільно з «Energy Club», не можуть оминути розвиток біоенергетики», - повідомив Голова Держенергоефективності Валерій Безус, відкриваючи четверту дискусію із циклу професійних обговорень «Біоенергетика України», ініційованих разом із діловою спільнотою «Energy Club».
Цього разу було піднято тему “Багаторічні енергетичні рослини у контексті сталого розвитку та енергетичної незалежності: виклики та реалії”.
«Питання вирощування енергетичних рослин в контексті розвитку біоенергетики є важливим, але, на жаль, немає достатньої уваги, що відповідала б потенціалу. За даними, які ми маємо, лише трохи більше 6 тис. га малопродуктивних земель на сьогоднішній день використовуються під енергетичні рослини», - повідомив В.Безус.

Sustainable Biomass Report Achieving Sustainable Production
Sustainable development is a pattern of resource use that aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for future generations. The term was used by the Brundtland Commission which coined what has become the most often-quoted definition of sustainable development as development that "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
Economic Sustainability for Local Food - Guest Speaker Brian Potts
The document discusses the economic sustainability of local food systems. It defines key economic concepts and compares neoclassical economics with ecological economics. Local food is examined in terms of transportation costs, production inputs, and meeting future generations' needs. Trends toward more environmentally-conscious consumption and local food are emerging. Colorado is facilitating local food through programs and addressing zoning barriers. The future may see a shift toward more sustainable, locally-focused agriculture and "residential farms."
Earth Sense Energy Usa Ppt 09 28 09 2003 Version
Earth Sense Energy USA was created to capitalize on opportunities in the emerging biomass economy. The company plans to be the largest producer of the energy grass Miscanthus in the US within 3-5 years by producing and selling Miscanthus transplants and providing establishment services to farmers. This will help achieve projections of millions of acres of biomass production needed for fuel. Earth Sense Energy USA aims to vertically integrate into related markets like carbon trading and biomass conversion to maximize opportunities from the growing biomass sector.

To meet rising global food demand, agricultural productivity must be significantly increased in a sustainable way. Nearly 800 million people experience hunger daily and food production needs to double by 2050. Key issues impacting productivity are degradation of farmlands, resistant pests, limited water availability, soil composition variations, and inadequate storage facilities. Solutions proposed include more efficient irrigation, precision agriculture, developing drought-resistant crops, improving soil and water management, and investing in research.

ResearchTalks Vol. 5 - What is Sustainable Agriculture? Using technology to i...ResearchTalks [cultural & science speed-dating]
Forget everything you think you know about food. While it is popular nowadays to demonize modern agriculture and promote a vision for farming and food production that revolves around small farms and artisanal methods, companies such as Monsanto are using modern technology to improve agriculture in ways that provide benefits to farmers, consumers and society as a whole. Contrary to popular myths, this is not (all) about biotechnology!Waterstone inbar 2015
The document discusses the impacts of increasing global temperatures from 0-6 degrees Celsius. It notes that between 0-2 degrees there will be increased floods, droughts, forest fires and water shortages. Between 2-4 degrees there will be millions of refugees as parts of the world become too hot and dry to inhabit, and major cities could be flooded. Above 4 degrees, civilization may be destroyed due to resource shortages and natural disasters. The rest of the document discusses how bamboo can be used as part of a bioeconomy to replace fossil fuel and oil-based products, providing renewable resources, jobs and income while mitigating climate change impacts.

Ever green revolution
This document summarizes a seminar on the green revolution and the need for a second green revolution. The seminar covered the history and introduction of the original green revolution, including the development of high-yielding varieties, expansion of irrigation, and use of fertilizers and pesticides. Constraints on current agricultural practices and the need for changes were also discussed. The second green revolution would focus on issues like poor irrigation infrastructure, stagnating yields, and rising population through techniques like drought-tolerant crops developed using biotechnology.
“What would it take to build a truly resilient local food system?"
The document discusses building a resilient local food system and outlines seven core solutions, including transitioning to regenerative organic farming and developing a cooperative food economy. Specifically, it proposes establishing 29 regional growers' cooperatives across British Columbia to support local farmers and increase local food production and resilience. The cooperatives would provide shared resources like distribution, storage, supplies and business skills training to help farmers overcome challenges of high land costs, lack of infrastructure and difficulty competing with industrial agriculture. Transitioning the food system in this way over ten years could help address issues of soil health, climate change and economic challenges for farmers.

Presentation by Jan Low from CIP at the Land and Water Advantage event on the sidelines of COP23.
More information about the event series: https://bit.ly/AgAdvantage AGRO-VATION
Low agricultural productivity in India is due to inadequate irrigation, depleted soils, improper storage, and land fragmentation. Sustainable agriculture techniques like rainwater harvesting, strip cropping, crop rotation, rooftop farming, and aquatic agriculture address these issues by conserving water, protecting soils, and making more efficient use of land. Genetically modified crops could also boost yields by increasing drought resistance, pest resistance, and nutritional content. However, implementing these solutions faces challenges related to funding, technology, social acceptance, and environmental conditions. Coordinated efforts between government, private sector, farmers, and researchers are needed to fully adopt sustainable agriculture practices and realize their benefits.
Mostly Convenient Truths From A Technology Optimist
The document discusses various renewable energy technologies and their potential to replace fossil fuels. It argues that cellulosic ethanol produced from biomass crops has the greatest potential for large-scale deployment due to its ability to be cost competitive at scale and produce billions of gallons of fuel. Technologies like solar and wind are currently more expensive and not able to provide reliable "utility grade" power without major improvements in storage.

Steele repreve 1 13-11
1) Mississippi State University is researching pyrolysis of giant miscanthus to produce biofuels such as bio-oil, hydrocarbons, and ethanol.
2) Their auger reactor design can produce bio-oil at 67% yield from giant miscanthus and the design is being licensed to an industrial partner for commercialization.
3) Through hydrodeoxygenation and esterification, they can upgrade bio-oil into hydrocarbon mixtures and boiler fuel with properties similar to diesel, as well as produce anhydrosugars from the aqueous fraction that can be converted to ethanol.
Freedomphotos
This document discusses the growth stages of Miscanthus plants over a 9 month period for biofuel production. It includes photos showing Miscanthus at 1, 3, 4, 6, and 9 months of age both in greenhouses and in fields, as well as photos of harvested Miscanthus and divided rhizomes ready for planting. Experts from Mississippi State University and SunBelt Biofuels inspect and monitor the growth of the Miscanthus plants.
Sun Belt Prannounceme#403 Fb2
A new strain of giant miscanthus grass called Freedom Giant Miscanthus has been developed by Mississippi State University and licensed by SunBelt Biofuels for commercialization. This grass is a viable alternative to corn and switchgrass for biofuel production. It takes only one year to mature compared to 20 years for trees. Freedom Giant Miscanthus is also very profitable for farmers, stimulating rural economies, and can produce over 3,000 gallons of fuel per acre. If widely planted, it could help make states like Georgia energy independent and lessen the country's dependence on foreign oil.
Msurelease
Collaboration between Mississippi State University and a Georgia businessman may provide the Southeast a viable biofuel feedstock in the form of a new variety of giant miscanthus called "Freedom". MSU researcher Brian Baldwin spent 12 years studying different grass species and determined that giant miscanthus consistently produced higher yields than other candidates such as switchgrass, averaging 18-20 tons per acre. The exclusive rights to produce and distribute the seed stock for Freedom were licensed to Phillip Jennings' new company SunBelt Biofuels, which plans to make it commercially available to growers in spring 2010. Freedom is well-suited to the Southeast climate and could provide farmers an alternative crop for the production of sustainable bioenergy.
Power Source Miscanthus
Miscanthus is a perennial grass native to Asia and Africa that is promising for bioenergy production. It is hardy, fast growing, and uses water efficiently. Yields of Miscanthus cane are typically 12-20 tonnes per hectare annually in Europe, and over 40 tonnes in the US. Miscanthus has a high energy balance, with the energy produced being much greater than that required for growth. It also provides environmental benefits such as carbon sequestration and increased biodiversity. Currently Miscanthus is mainly used for co-firing in coal power plants in the UK, but future markets may include cellulosic biofuels and biomass heating.
Freedom Giant Miscanthus Fact Sheet
This document provides information about Freedom giant miscanthus, a perennial grass that can be grown as a renewable energy crop. It summarizes that:
1) Freedom giant miscanthus yields up to 25 tons per acre annually, more than other energy crops like corn or switchgrass, and it can grow on marginal lands with low inputs.
2) As a perennial crop that does not need to be replanted annually, it eliminates costs and environmental impacts of replanting while building soil organic matter through its roots and harvesting process.
3) It is an efficient carbon sink and stores nutrients in its roots, making it a clean-burning and renewable energy source.
