William H L Stafford is a Life Scientist with R&D experience spanning 20 years. His research encompasses diverse fields of Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Microbial Ecology, Systems Biology, Holistic Resource Management, Industrial Ecology, Renewable Energy and Permaculture. As a senior Researcher at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), an overarching research question is: How can our natural resources are used sustainably for the benefit of all? Current research involves assessing various technology options, value-chains and alternate development scenarios to guide project and policy developments for the transition to a Green Economy and a more sustainable development path. Bioenergy is currently a research focus area that addresses a multiple development objectives; such as economic feasibility, social acceptance, environmental impacts and the allocation of biomass resources for the production of food, fuel, timber, chemicals and fibres in the growing Bio-economy.
