Examines policies contained in P.L. 110-246, the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008, also known as the 2008 farm bill, that support agriculture-based renewable energy, especially biofuels. Provides brief description of how these policies evolved and how they fit into the larger context of U.S. biofuels policy. Defines policies specific to the 2008 farm bill in terms of their function, goals, administration, funding, and implementation status. Reviews major emerging issues related to USDA energy programs, particularly as related to their possible inclusion in the next farm bill.
