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
