Abstract: To ensure the economic viability and competitiveness of U.S. agriculture, it is important that the quality and utilization of harvested agricultural commodities be maintained or enhanced. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service (ARS) recognizes this and established the National Program (NP 306) Product Quality and New Uses, including biorefining, as the research link between farmers' fields and use by the consumer. The goal of NP 306 is to enhance economic viability and competitiveness of U.S. agriculture by improving quality and marketability of harvested agricultural commodities to meet consumer needs, develop environmentally friendly, efficient processing concepts, and expand domestic and global market opportunities by developing value-added food and non-food technologies and products, as well as expanding biorefining technologies, byproducts, and green fuels.
