“Nebraska is thrilled to host the Plant Based Products Council’s annual conference, PBPC 2024: Circular Solutions. We’re looking forward to the opportunity to showcase Nebraska’s leadership in the bioeconomy, and we welcome our like-minded peers from both near and far. As a keynote speaker at PBPC 2023, I was honored to meet with PBPC members, business representatives from many different areas of the bioeconomy, leaders from the state and federal levels, and other stakeholders in the plant-based products space. I know this year will prove just as beneficial for all of us who are fighting to advance the bioeconomy.”

“Farmers and ranchers are among the world’s greatest environmentalists — their livelihood depends on it. PBPC’s Circular Solutions conference gives growers the opportunity to explore new markets and showcase their own success. I am proud of Nebraska’s agricultural industry and its continued commitment to innovation and sustainability.”

“Nebraska is home to bold innovation and leadership in biomanufacturing. The opportunities to produce homegrown bio-based products will reduce our dependence on foreign oil. The expansion of this industry will add value to our crops and create more American jobs. PBPC’s Circular Solutions conference is an opportunity to learn more about biomanufacturing in Nebraska and nationwide.”

“Agriculture is the backbone of Nebraska’s economy and is the heart of our way of life. Expanding our bioeconomy is critical to generating more jobs for the next generation, and the upcoming Circular Solutions conference will lay out opportunities to help us take new steps towards the future of agriculture..”

“Agriculture is the lifeblood of the Nebraska economy. Last year, we ranked third nationally for gross ag receipts and a quarter of Nebraska jobs are agriculture related. As a member of the House Agriculture Committee, I am excited to welcome Plant Based Products Council to Omaha for their 2024 conference.”

“Nebraska’s leadership in the agriculture-based bioeconomy makes our state an excellent host for the upcoming PBPC conference. I’m pleased the conference will highlight Blair’s state-of-the-art bioscience complex and the world-class products produced there by Nebraskans. The contributions and potential of plant-based products are remarkable, and I look forward to the opportunity this event holds for our state and the industry.”
