摘要

Fundamental needs of human civilization are fourfold: food, feed, energy, and chemicals and minerals. This litany has remained essentially unchanged since homo sapiens abandoned the hunter gatherer lifestyle and settled down to husband agriculture, domesticate animals, and created safe environments for survival and species proliferation. Few of the vestiges of primitive and medieval practices exist to support present day human existence. For instance, though meat consumption has remained a dominant practice, it is no longer supplied by hunting wild animals; all meat sources are now domesticated. In recent years, biomass utilization has become a designed approach to provide food, feed, energy, and even chemicals. Minerals are the only need that biomass cannot satisfy, obviously. The question naturally arises: are there limits to what we can do with biomass, is there enough biomass to be had, are there global and local limits before we begin to harm the natural ecological support system, and how would we decide on a sustaining optimized utilization?
