Boosting Farmers and Clean Aviation Fuel: The "Farm to Fly" Act.

This law integrates Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) into existing Department of Agriculture bio-energy programs. This creates new market opportunities for US farmers to supply feedstocks for cleaner jet fuel production, aiming to enhance energy security and support rural economic growth. The fuel must meet strict environmental standards, reducing greenhouse gas emissions significantly.
Key points
New markets for farmers: Federal programs will now explicitly support the production of agricultural feedstocks (biomass) used to create sustainable aviation fuel.
Cleaner air travel: The supported fuel must achieve at least a 50% reduction in lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions compared to standard jet fuel, supporting climate goals.
Rural economic boost: The USDA is mandated to launch a collaboration initiative to maximize opportunities for farmers and the agricultural sector in the emerging SAF market.
