Natural Products
The use of natural materials for dyestuffs, fibres, medicines and fuel is as old as mankind. There is a renaissance in this field and many opportunities exist to substitute natural products for "synthetics". However many questions remain to be addressed before "industrial crops" become a widespread reality.
