Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impacts of climate change on agricultural yields and biomass productivity.
- Technological advancements in sustainable agriculture practices to optimize fodder crop extraction.
- Market shifts towards renewable and bio-based materials influencing domestic production strategies.
