Will Biofuel Crops Create Food Shortages?
The great thing about PPI technology is that it improves yields for both food and non-food biofuel crops. Only 30% of US farmland is actively used for corn, soybean and wheat production. PPI’s non-food biofuel grasses can thrive on the remaining 70% underutilized farmland and will provide many farmers with new markets and crop rotation choices. The company focuses its biofuel trait development in such non-food crops as switch grass, Miscanthus, sorghum and hemp.
