This volume presents a timely recognition, warning and mapping of
the fast approaching wave, or "bio-tsunami", of global
socio-technical transformation, built by a much wider spectrum of
converging powers, including biotechnology, new agriculture, novel
foods, health, quality of life, environment, energy,
sustainability, education, knowledge management, and design of
smart applications. The book contains eight sections corresponding
to different clusters of bioeconomic and socio-technical change, as
identified by the editors' "Scanning the Horizon" foresight
research; it also offers an integrated view of the future
bioeconomy landscape though the convergence of several technologies
that affect everyday life. The clusters offer methodologies for
forecasting the future bioeconomy, and how these predictions can
affect target-setting and the orientation of policies and actions
to manage cultural and societal change, and achieve sustainable
development in less developed areas. The book will be of interest
to researchers, producers, logistics experts, policy makers,
regulators, business and financial institutions, and
biotechnologists (e.g. geneticists, food experts, etc.).
