The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act (FSRIA) was signed into law in 2002. A goal of that legislation is to increase the government’s purchase and use of biobased products. In addition to lessening our national dependence on foreign oil, use of biobased materials promotes economic development by creating new jobs in rural communities and providing new markets for farm commodities.

As part of the FSRIA mandate, the U.S. Department of Agriculture was directed to develop and implement a comprehensive program for designating biobased products. The USDA has already designated several items as "preferred,"; and will be adding significantly to that list in the coming months. Many government agencies are now using these products, and have found them to have comparable or superior performance to their petroleum counterparts.
