High Tech Algae Farming Industry Gets Boost with Introduction of Bipartisan Algae Agriculture Act of 2018
The Algae Biomass Organization (ABO), the trade association for the algae industry, applauded the introduction of the Algae Agriculture Act of 2018, a bill that would give algae cultivators and harvesters many of the same
advantages as other traditional crops in United States agricultural policy. The bill was introduced by Congressman Scott Peters (CA-52) and sponsored by a diverse, bipartisan group of Congressmen: Andy Biggs (R-AZ-5), Derek Kilmer (D-WA-6) and Darin LaHood (R-IL-18).
This legislation will help bring American agriculture into the future by welcoming the production of a new and incredibly useful crop that can sustainably provide food for millions of people, and even new chemicals, plastics, fuels and more.
