Strategic Plan for Biobased Products Through the Biobased Products Coordination Council

Executive Summary: USDA formed the BPCC whose goal is to carry out programs to increase the domestic research, development and commercialization of biobased industrial and commercial products. The BPCC has developed this strategic plan in cooperation with outside interest groups and believes that we can accomplish this goal in the next 5 years using the following objectives: • provide USDA leadership in the Federal Government for increasing research, development, and commercialization of biobased products, • increase USDA’s commitment to biobased products, and • educate policy makers and the public on the advantages of biobased products.
