Most conferences about short rotation crops have primarily focused on EITHER agricultural OR forest crops, resulting in less integration and slower advancement of common underlying science and application. The goal of this conference is to initiate and provide opportunities for scientific exchange and full integration of the science and application of producing BOTH agricultural AND forest crops for biofuels, bioenergy, and bioproducts. There is a substantial global need for development of such systems and technologies for the sustainability of short rotation crops across multiple temporal and spatial scales. This conference offers an international forum for discussion and scientific exchange about methods for overcoming barriers to economically and sustainably producing large quantities of biofuels, bioenergy, and bioproducts.
We are no longer accepting abstracts for oral presentations. Tuesday, July 1, 2008 is the final day to submit poster abstracts for addendum to the official conference General Technical Report. The two main topic areas include (A) biological and environmental and (B) economic and policy implications of sustainable biofuels, bioenergy, and bioproducts.

There will be a joint field tour during the conference to the University of Minnesota Southern Research and Outreach Center in Waseca, Minnesota to see both agricultural and forestry research projects. Opportunities for pre- and post-conference tours to biomass research and development projects in the region are being offered.
