This report “The Plan to Enable the Bioeconomy in America: Building a Resilient Biomass Supply” by US Department of Agriculture focuses on systems of production of biomass as raw material and its preprocessing into feedstocks for many diverse types of biomanufacturing and biobased products in the US bioeconomy. Some of these systems are well-established and primed for expansion, while others are newly emerging.
It identifies current challenges and vulnerabilities to biomass supply chain systems. Focusing on resilience, the plan summarises existing government policies and programs across supply chains that support the expansion of the bioeconomy. It recommends additional actions in research, development, and demonstration, policies, and programs to build more resilient biomass supply chains. The plan concludes by recommending mechanisms for improving cooperation and collaboration on the bioeconomy across the Federal Government.
