Recommendations to increase the economic value and sustainability of Washington agriculture using industrial symbiosis principles.
The 2022 Washington State Legislature directed Washington State University (WSU) to partner with organizations with relevant expertise to “develop recommendations for increasing the economic value and sustainability of Washington’s agriculture sector through the use of industrial symbiosis principles.”
In response, this Agriculture Symbiosis report was developed by WSU in collaboration with the Center for Sustainable Infrastructure (CSI) and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). The report is grounded in research and consultation with stakeholders and experts.
It includes technology and resource assessments to support informed policymaking aimed at fostering agricultural symbiosis—collaborative strategies to reuse waste streams, share energy, and connect complementary processes for mutual economic and environmental benefit.
