Recommendation 49
49
Paragraph: 230
Scale up sustainable planting of short-rotation forestry and coppice for bioenergy feedstock
Conclusion
Short-rotation forestry and short-rotation coppice crops are currently little used, but demand for them is likely to increase. If they are considered to be significant and necessary bioenergy feedstock sources, their planting must be scaled up sustainably, in line with best forestry practices and limited to an appropriate area of land, so as to minimise competition with food crops.
