Kentucky Lawmakers Propose 'Farm to Flight' Bill to Boost Sustainable Aviation Fuel Production
Kentucky lawmakers are advancing a bill to create the 'Kentucky Farm to Flight Program,' aiming to connect the state's agricultural sector with the aviation industry. The initiative, proposed in House Bill 323, is designed to establish a supply chain for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) using crops grown by local farmers. This would provide a new market for Kentucky's agricultural community while supporting the decarbonization of air travel. Proponents suggest the program will attract new businesses and position the state as a leader in SAF production. The ultimate goal is to foster economic growth and environmental benefits for both sectors.
