CHCx3 would like to invite you to the third event in their webinar series, which is focused on biomass crops.

Objectives: 

Discuss how biomass crops such as miscanthus and willow can be incorporated successfully on farm, by understanding

• The suitability and agronomic requirements of key biomass crop species
• Current and emerging opportunities within biomass crop values chains
• The potential for biomass crops to help improve soil organic matter and increase carbon capture

Desired outcomes:

• Better understanding of which crop to grow, where and how
• Increased awareness of the expanding and evolving value chains for biomass crops
• Improved knowledge of their potential to enhance soil organic matter and carbon capture on farm
