Farm to Fly Act of 2024
The Farm to Fly Act of 2024 amends USDA farm bill programs to explicitly include sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) as a qualifying biofuel, directly benefiting farmers, biofuel producers, and the aviation industry. It updates definitions to define SAF as fuel meeting strict environmental standards (like 50%+ lifecycle emissions reduction) and requires USDA to coordinate a new "Farm to Fly" initiative to advance SAF development. Key provisions include integrating SAF into existing USDA financial assistance programs for biorefineries and renewable chemicals, and directing the Secretary of Agriculture to leverage agricultural resources for SAF commercialization. This bill aims to expand domestic SAF supply chains, support rural economies through new markets for farmers, and advance clean energy goals in aviation.
