President Biden has finally unveiled his administration’s plan to leverage biotech to bolster the nation’s sustainability and food security efforts.

The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy’s report, “Bold Goals for U.S. Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing,” arrives six months after Biden signed Executive Order 14081, which outlined an organized federal approach to biotech. Details were scarce at the time, but now it appears that food has emerged as a priority.

The new report fleshes out the administration’s plans by using biotech to power more proficient agriculture, boosting food system sustainability, improving food nutrition, and insulating the system against threats such as climate change.

“Biotechnology and biomanufacturing are providing transformative solutions to many of the greatest challenges facing U.S. agriculture and food production, including climate change, food and nutrition insecurity, and pests and diseases in agricultural plants and animals,” the report explained.
