What: 2008 Farm to Fuel Summit
Where: Rosen Shingle Creek Resort, Orlando, Florida
When: July 30th – August 1st.

In 2006, the Florida Farm to Fuel Initiative was statutorily created to
enhance the market for and promote the production and distribution of
renewable energy from Florida-grown crops, agricultural wastes and
residues, and other biomass, and to enhance the value of agricultural
products and expand agribusiness in the State. Since then, the Florida
Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services has hosted two “Farm to
Fuel Summits” in Orlando (2006) and St. Petersburg (2007), each of which
attracted several hundred participants.

The third Florida Farm to Fuel Summit is scheduled for July 30th –
August 1st at the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort in Orlando. The 2008
Summit will provide further opportunities for industry leaders to
discuss Florida’s energy future and join in shaping the future of
biofuels and renewable energy in the State of Florida. This
high-profile event will feature speakers and panelists representing
international, national and state perspectives on issues of research,
production and distribution of biofuels, including biodiesel, bioethanol
and biogas.
