A bioeconomy is one based on the use of research and innovation in
the biological sciences to create economic activity and public
benefit. The U.S. bioeconomy is all around us: new drugs and
diagnostics for improved human health, higher-yielding food crops,
emerging biofuels to reduce dependency on oil, and biobased
chemical intermediates. The public benefit gained through
biological research can be seen through the eyes of a patient who
received a critical medication that did not exist a decade ago, a
farmer whose higher-yield crops are turned into fuels, food, and
intermediate chemicals, and a small-business owner whose innovative
biobased products are breaking new ground in manufacturing.
Increased societal needs for food and energy, combined with new
knowledge/discoveries in biology and new methods for harnessing
biological processes, have dramatically increased the economic
potential for the bioeconomy. This book explores the background,
objectives and impacts of the U.S. bioeconomy to generate economic
growth and address societal needs.
