Growing the bioeconomy requires coordination between industry, academia, and government.

At a recent @HouseAgGOP hearing, @RepJimBaird asked our Chairman, Dr. Alex Buck, about that partnership and legislation that would benefit the bioeconomy.

Developing new markets for domestic ag products benefits farmers and manufacturers. Biobased products are a perfect example.

Thanks to @RepJimBaird for asking our Board Chair, Dr. Alex Buck, about the bioeconomy's future and how it will support farmers and feedstocks.

Growing the ag bioeconomy is a team effort, and we couldn't do it without America's farmers.

They produce the materials that become plant-based products, and today we want to thank them for their hard work.

New markets create lasting opportunities for American farmers.

At a @HouseAgGOP hearing, our Board Chairman, Dr. Alex Buck, spoke with @RepMessmer about how the Biomanufacturing and Jobs Act can turn U.S. ag feedstocks into opportunities by growing demand for biobased products.

The plant-based products industry relies on manufacturers to turn American-grown crops into American-produced goods. They're a vital part of our industry, and on National Manufacturing Day, we show our appreciation for their hard work.

As a leading proponent of the ag bioeconomy, @RepMessmer knows how important it is to the American economy.

He spoke about his Biomanufacturing and Jobs Act and asked PBPC's Board Chairman, Dr. Alex Buck, about the bioeconomy at a recent @HouseAgGOP hearing.

PBPC's Board Chair, Dr. Alex Buck, and @rep_jackson had a great discussion on how the ag bioeconomy benefits growers, manufacturers, and rural communities.

Thanks to Rep. Jackson for his leadership and engagement on this issue!

Expanding the ag bioeconomy requires Congressional investment. Today, the Senate Agriculture Committee advanced the Agricultural Act of 2026, which would bolster the biobased products sector.

Read PBPC's Executive Director James Glueck's statement on the bill ⬇️

Every new biobased product represents a new customer for American farmers.

Congress can help expand markets by strengthening incentives and policies that support agricultural innovation and U.S. biomanufacturing.

Our Board Chair, Dr. Buck, is speaking about this right now ⬇️
