Abstract:

The concept of using plants as non­food crop feedstock is not new, but, despite considerable investment in research and development, their diverse potential has not yet been fully evaluated and reached commercial levels. By September 2009, a European Network started, entitled “Non­food Crops to industry schemes in EU27”, aiming to identify whether and under which terms Europe has the potential and the technical competence to develop a competitive bio­industry fed by a sustainable agriculture.
