The U.S. bioeconomy is increasingly fueled by a range of renewable feedstocks—from corn, soy, and wheat to sugarcane, seaweed, and potatoes. This conversation explores how innovators across agriculture and industry are advancing biobased products using regionally available crops. It will highlight how feedstock diversity and bioproducts can unlock new markets and strengthen supply chain resilience. Speakers will also explore the role of collaboration, research, and investment in scaling production and meeting the growing demand for renewable materials.
