| Generally the topics presented in this book cover wide aspects connected with renewable resources, how they can be obtained, assessed, processed and finally applied. The new crops, very often with the improved genetics, become the key to the successful plant biotechnology, bio-fuels, biocomposites and agro-fine chemicals. New agriculture resources like Jatropha as well as older ones like flax and hemp, kenaf, jute, sisal are discussed as well. A special focus is on the diversification of renewable resources for non-food applications, including fibres, pulp and paper, agro-fine chemicals and energy. |
