This book is at the cutting edge of the ongoing research in
bioeconomy and encompasses both technological and economic
strategies to master the transformation towards a knowledge- and
bio-based production system. The volume combines different
international perspectives with approaches of the various fields of
research. Bioeconomy is one of the future concepts of an economy
which, while based on renewable biological resources, also predicts
economic growth. Starting from a growth-economic as well as
knowledge- and innovation-economic perspective the contributions
give an overview of different existing patterns and cases and
describe the basic prerequisites for the bioeconomy transformation.
Therewith, the volume is a resource for experts and newcomers in
the field of bioeconomy giving insight into the life cycle of
bio-based products, detailing the latest advancements and how to
turn them into economic growth.
This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book
defines the new field of "Bioeconomy" as the sustainable and
innovative use of biomass and biological knowledge to provide food,
feed, industrial products, bioenergy and ecological services. The
chapters highlight the importance of bioeconomy-related concepts in
public, scientific, and political discourse. Using an
interdisciplinary approach, the authors outline the dimensions of
the bioeconomy as a means of achieving sustainability. The authors
are ideally situated to elaborate on the diverse aspects of the
bioeconomy. They have acquired in-depth experience of
interdisciplinary research through the university's focus on
"Bioeconomy", its contribution to the Bioeconomy Research Program
of the federal state of Baden-Wurttemberg, and its participation in
the German Bioeconomy Council. With the number of
bioeconomy-related projects at European universities rising, this
book will provide graduate students and researchers with background
information on the bioeconomy. It will familiarize scientific
readers with bioeconomy-related terms and give scientific
background for economists, agronomists and natural scientists
alike.
