These are a few of my favorite things

Hello World,

This blog initiates postings to Sustainable Food, Fiber, Feed and Fuel. The mission of the blog is to document, publish and foster dialogue on myriad aspects of sustainable systems for the production and utilization of food, fiber, feed and fuel. 

Key topics in this blog will deal with:
  1. the sustainability of soy, and many aspects of the sustainable production of soybeans and soy products. Look for posts from time to time on soy and its role in food, fiber, feed and fuel. No discussion of sustainability is complete without attention to the environmental, social and economic dimensions of soy in the landscape, and the versatility of this amazing crop.
  2. the sustainability of algae, and the rapid development of emerging technologies for cultivation, harvest and processing of algae into food, fiber, feed and fuel. 
  3. the sustainability of anaerobic digestion for management of organic substrates, methane, CO2 and other greenhouse and fuel gases.
  4. the sustainability of gasification and pyrolysis for completion of the fuel cycle.
  5. the sustainability of recirculating aquaculture systems and their integration with soy, algae, and other components of highly integrated purpose-built ecosystems.
Other topics will emerge over time. The intent is to post weekly, or more frequently as time permits. 

See you soon,
DBJ
