Capability Approach and Inclusion: Developing a Context Sensitive Design for Biobased Value Chains.

Biomass such as crops and agricultural waste is increasingly used as the primary resource for products like bioplastics and biofuels.

However, how to involve biomass producers, especially if they are resource poor, remains a challenge.
