TEACHING NOTES / CONTEXT FOR USE

This presentation would be very useful in a presentation about biofuels, especially for professors teaching in the Midwest, but also for those teaching in other regions. It would be a good way to open up debate as to whether biofuels are a truly sustainable resource.

ASSESSMENT
