FUTURE ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY
​
Our immediate task is to inventory and geo-locate all sizable (commercial scale) sources of biomass inputs, including wood waste, food waste from processors, animal waste from livestock farms, municipal solid waste, and purpose-grown energy crops and grasses, where available.
​
To support these efforts, we have partnered with the South Dallas Employment Project, and have established the Urban Agriculture Initiative, an Advisory Council of stakeholders and organizational leaders in Dallas.
