This paper highlights the cross-cutting, yet overlooked, role of different types of biomass in the SDGs. Biomass, derived from land-based organic materials, is a core foundation of human societies, in its use as
human food, animal feed, biomaterials, or bioenergy. See the content:
1. Introduction
2. Projected land demand for food, feed, biomaterials, and bioenergy production and consumption, as implied by the SDGs
3. Growing demands, finite supply: Availability of land for biomass production over time
4. Review of existing problems with large-scale biomass production
5. Beyond silo-thinking toward a nexus perspective: A discussion
6. Governance implications for sustainable biomass in the SDG
