The bioeconomy will require tight linkages between a diversity of agricultural sciences with other biological, chemical, and engineering technical fields. Underpinning this growth is the role rural America plays, because the materials needed to build the bioeconomy are largely produced on farms and forests.
The diversificationof the forest-based bioecono-my is also a key issue. In the 20th century, the for-est-based bioeconomy was very much focused on pulp and paper products, wood products, and forest-ry related to these. Today, and increasingly so in the future, the forest-based bioeconomy is also bioener-gy, biochemicals, textiles, construction .
