Food and Energy Costs

Food and energy costs, together with healthcare, are arguably the three most important factors in how well we thrive on planet Earth.  While healthcare costs certainly continue to rise, it is food and energy costs that are most volatile.  Food and energy costs seem to fluctuate the most during periods of emergence and spread of infectious diseases with pandemic potential (like plagues, cholera, and COVID), and during periods of war and other conflicts (like the recent invasion of Ukraine).  Since food and energy costs and healthcare costs are interrelated and have a very significant impact on human life, keeping the Earth in the best equilibrium possible is everyone’s hope and everyone’s duty.

Lee Enterprises Consulting was founded in 1995 with the vision of helping create a cleaner world and more stable climate.  Our vision was a world where the Earth’s abundant natural resources were properly used, and where conflicts over oil became less prevalent.  In our 27 years, we have made a significant start on that vision.

With over 150 consultants, Lee Enterprises Consulting has the diverse expertise and geographical reach to assist in virtually any bioeconomy project worldwide. We offer a wide range of services in the general areas of biofuels, biochemicals, biotechnologies, biomaterials, synthetic biology commercialization, and feedstocks, and will have specialized business and financial services like due diligence, feedstock availability, government funding, and bio market research.  A big consulting group like this should also offer technical and engineering-related services like techno-economic analysis, environmental evaluations, feasibility studies, risk analysis, and expert witness engagements, and have solid strategic partnerships in place to assist clients with insurance, legal, accounting, plant fabrication, feedstock procurement.   Our highly qualified teams of experts bring a unique integration of technical, scientific, regulatory, and hands-on experience to any project.  Look at our experts and the services we provide.  Our experts are seasoned professionals, averaging over 30 years of industry experience.  In larger projects, LEC can assemble full-service, interdisciplinary teams with one point of contact, and in smaller projects, we likely have just the right expertise.  Most of our experts are also available to advise and serve as expert witnesses in bioeconomy litigation matters.   See a video about LEC here.  Call us at 1+ (501) 833-8511 or email us for more information.
