Production of both biofuel and animal feed from one crop is now possible, and can be done on a farm

The research shows the potential for complementary food and biofuel production, circumventing issues related to land-use competition. The system could be deployed at a local level by individual farmers, providing sustainable biofuel production, and could be particularly beneficial to farmers in the developing world. The efficient production of both biofuel and animal feed from one…
