Thematic areas

BiomassNet features eight major thematic areas, which allow quick access to information on different issues related to food security and sustainable food and non-food biomass production. Each thematic area is supervised by a theme coordinator who double checks the uploaded resources to ensure they fit within the scope of the thematic area. If you are interested in acting as theme coordinator for an additional topic, please contact the BiomassNet administrator.
