• This chapter discusses the productions of herbaceous crops and woody crops in separate sections because of the different timescales associated with their cultivation and the different approaches to their mechanized harvest. Production of oleaginous crops focuses on microalgae rather than oil seed crops, because the latter closely follows the production of herbaceous crops. The chapter also considers the storage of biorenewable resources and the application of biotechnology to the production of transgenic crops. A section focuses on microalgae, which have the greatest potential for large‐scale production of lipids for processing into fuels and chemicals. Traditional methods of long‐term storage involve drying, cooling, or ensiling a crop or immediately processing the crop to obtain a more stable intermediate product. Recent advances in biotechnology broaden the scope of plant breeding by allowing selection of desirable traits across species, thus the name transgenic crops.
