Sustainable Bioeconomy for Arid Regions (SBAR)

The Sustainable Bioeconomy for Arid Regions (SBAR) Center of Excellence was established in September 2017, with the intended purpose of developing a systems approach for feedstock development, production, and delivery in the Southwest United States. It is further enhanced by the development and implementation of education, extension and outreach to teachers, 4-H youth groups, and farmers across the region.

SBAR works to optimize and integrate the production of guayule and guar to enable the Southwest United States to significantly impact the biofuels and other high-value product markets.
