If we each strive to uphold that principle from our own seven-gen- eration span, learning from science and experience, and pro- jecting scientifically on the basis of analysis and prediction, then we may achieve sustainability. These can assure us of bioen- ergy from sustainable forestry. MAI/JUIN 2002, VOL. 78, NO. 3, THE FORESTRY CHRONICLE 396 . . . . . .

The policy context within which biomass production is undertaken is important. There are many types of regulations, laws, policies, subsidies and taxes which affect biomass pro- duction systems.
