About

creation of a domestic natural rubber-based bioeconomy that is constructed with best management practices to sequester GHGs leading to carbon-negative rubber production;

adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices by underserved (rural and tribal) stakeholders, enabling the sustainability of farming in the Southwest while bringing high-skill, high-wage post-processing jobs to the region; and
data-based models and experimental validation of the carbon cycling and savings with results integrated into COMET to support expansion of guayule production beyond the industrial and farming partners in this project.
