The cultivation of industrial crops is generally promoted and supported for non-food purposes on marginal and contaminated lands. Most of these crops are used to produce a number of value added bio-products as well as bioenergy, thus contributing to the biobased economy. The EIP-AGRI Focus Group on Sustainable industrial crops discussed possibilities of enchance the industrial crop area in Europe based on knowledge and practices developed for each plants so far. Among the many examples, the MISCOMAR and MISCOMAR + projects were also presented.
Congratulations to all the authors!
