It is amazing to consider how far the biobased industry has come in the last decade. In 2000, few people had heard of biobased products and even fewer companies made them. Now there are thousands of biobased products available from companies across the nation. And, government procurement programs are helping lead their use. The 2002 Farm Bill forged the legislation that calls on the Federal government to buy biobased. Furthermore, President Obama’s new Executive Order references biobased products as it sets sustainability goals for Federal agencies and focuses on making improvements in their environmental, energy and economic performance. Federal agencies have set goals under Executive Order 13514 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets; increase energy efficiency; reduce fleet petroleum consumption; conserve water; reduce waste; support sustainable communities; and leverage Federal purchasing power to promote environmentally-responsible products and technologies. Glad there are lots of biobased products available to help meet those goals. U.S. farmers like me planted more than 77 million acres of soybeans last year. We are eager to get back into the fields this spring to grow the abundant supply of soybeans to simultaneously produce food for humans, feed for livestock and ingredients for biobased products.
