2015-2022 Enabling Sustainable Landscape Design for Continual Improvement of Operating Bioenergy Supply Systems
Completed 2018. Awarded to ANTARES with FDCE serving as lead for producer recruitment and production logistics. The project’s multi-stage, stakeholder outreach plan leveraged several existing federal, state, and local conservation programs with a transformative approach based on producer profitability for integrating switchgrass into landscape cover and the bioenergy supply mix.
The team used precision ag tools to identify acres in greatest need of conservation, conducted outreach and recruitment efforts and established approximately 3,000 acres of switchgrass.
