this new industry would come from

traditional academic programs in crop

production, such as agronomy, crop and

soil sciences and forestry; programs in

environmental sciences, such as

ecology, and water and timber

management; basic science programs,

such as genomics, biology and

microbiology; and, programs in

industrial production technologies, such

as fermentation design, fluid mechanics

and systems management. The objective

of this new education initiative is to

produce graduates who can enter the

complex biobased products industry

and effectively integrate the knowledge

from a wide range of technologies that

are necessary for this industry to grow.
