Government Relations & Washington Update

November 2024

Congress Returns for Lame Duck Session
In the wake of the 2024 election, Congress returns to Washington on November 12th with key unfinished business. Addressing appropriations for fiscal year 2025 is high on the list of priorities. The current continuing resolution to fund the federal government expires on December 20th. Congressional leaders will be considering whether to complete funding for the remainder of the fiscal year, or pass another short term resolution pushing final decisions on funding levels to next year with a new Congress and President Trump in power. It is currently unclear which path Congress will take. In addition to appropriations, there will be efforts to pass disaster relief to help those impacted by recent storms and the bridge collapse in Baltimore.

ICABR Call for Abstracts
Circular Bioeconomy and Systems of Sustainability

Food production faces a host of interconnected challenges – water scarcity, resource depletion, deforestation, rising energy costs – are but a few of the factors that impact not only the amount of food produced, but also its price. Circular bioeconomies offer potential solutions through a systems approach to improve the sustainability of food production. However, producing more with less, requires significant innovation investments, efficient regulations and unrestricted trade. Improved sustainability requires a systems approach, where policy or regulatory changes in one phase of the innovation pipeline can adversely or beneficially impact other phases.
