From Biofuels to Biopolymers: A Smarter Future for Farming

  • Replace Biofuel Subsidies:

    • Transition subsidies from biofuel production to bioplastic and biopolymer production.

    • Ensure farmers relying on biofuel programs continue to thrive with new, future-proof markets.

  • Economic Opportunity:

    • Position America as the world’s leading producer of bioplastics.

    • Expand U.S. manufacturing jobs by creating a homegrown supply of sustainable materials.

  • Environmental Benefits:

    • Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by moving away from combustion-based fuels.

    • Support clean energy expansion, high-speed rail, and electric vehicles as part of a green economy.

  • Long-Term Farmer Prosperity:

    • Protect farmers from declining profitability as electric vehicles replace internal combustion engines.

    • Guarantee that American farmers not only survive this transition but prosper in the new economy.

Biofuels are a temporary patch. Bioplastics and biopolymers are a sustainable future. By shifting subsidies now, we can safeguard farmers’ incomes, strengthen America’s global leadership, and build an economy rooted in innovation and sustainability.

It’s time to trade combustion for creation—supporting farmers and building the green industries of tomorrow.
