A conference like AgFibe 2002-covering all potential agfibres such as wheat straw, linseed flax straw and hemp-allows people to put their heads together over common, shared problems. With participants drawn from several disciplines-almost 30 speakers-a deep pool of knowledge was created that made for a stimulating, exciting treat. The conference made it clear that successful fibre processing is not simply a question of growing fibre, processing it, and selling the fibre to willing and rich buyers downstream. What a successful fibre value chain does is link grower, processors and buyers into a continuum that allows for a steady, continuous and regular supply of fibre. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
