This book examines the bioeconomy concept, analysing the
opportunities it can generate, the constraints and the potential
benefits for society. The main objective of bioeconomy is to
promote economic development, by creating jobs and enhancing the
sustainable utilization of bio-resources. A primary driver of
bioeconomy strategy, therefore, is the need to respond to the
growing population's food and economic requirements. While today
research and literature related to bioeconomy are limited, this
book presents a unique collection of perspectives on the complex
dimensions of the bioeconomy debate. Drawing on the experiences
from Europe, Asia and Africa, it presents an international
overview. The chapters address a wide range of issues, including
coastal-land interactions, ecosystem services, food production,
rural development, agriculture, forest management and bioenergy. As
a whole, the volume outlines what role bioeconomy can play in
contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs) without compromising on the ecological sustainability and
equitable distribution of benefits. The book concludes by providing
recommendations for developing bioeconomy in respective sectors
(agriculture, forestry, fisheries, renewable energy) and directions
for planning future bioeconomy programmes and strategies. The
Bioeconomy Approach will be of great interest to students and
scholars of ecological economics, development economics and
environmental economics, as well as policy-makers and practitioners
involved in sustainable development.
