A new group with some significant resources has jumped head first into the food and fuel debate. Members include the Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) Company, DuPont, John Deere, Monsanto, and the Renewable Fuels Association.
The Alliance for Abundant Food and Energy brings together a broad group of visionary companies and organizations committed to sustainably and responsibly improving diets and reducing dependence on fossil fuels through agricultural productivity worldwide.
What We Stand For
* We are optimistic about global agriculture and its ability to meet growing demand for food, feed, fuel and fiber.
* We are confident in the ability of farmers in America and throughout the world to increase productivity to meet these vital needs in a sustainable manner.
* We believe that both food and energy are fundamental human needs and we embrace actions and innovations that strengthen agriculture’s ability to produce both. We reject the falsity of “either/or” choices.
* We recognize the vital role biofuels play as an important alternative to petroleum-based transportation fuels today.
* We are committed to the sustainable, responsible development of biofuel in the U.S. and throughout the world, without prejudice to feedstock, manufacturing process or final product.
* We encourage the acceptance of technologies as they become commercially viable and scalable, towards our goal of continually improving the environmental and economic benefit of biofuels.
What We Do
Through credible, fact- and science-based education, information and advocacy, we advance support for agricultural solutions today, while building understanding of agriculture’s ability to fulfill the promise of improved diets and better fuels into the future.
