  Why might this be relevant?

  The project partially addresses the question as it focuses on the impacts of trade in major raw and processed non-food biomass value chains, which are part of the UK's natural resources, but it does not specifically address the UK's long-term requirement for natural resources from global markets or the likely impacts of change to the UK economy.
