Hungary's National Bioeconomy Strategy Concept

Hungary's national bioeconomy strategy focuses on advancing sustainable biomass use across agriculture, forestry, and aquaculture, supporting small-scale biorefineries, enhancing circular economy synergies, and promoting carbon capture, utilization, and storage. It emphasizes preserving biodiversity and soil health, increasing organic matter in soils by 30% by 2030, and expanding forest-based value chains through innovation and research. The strategy promotes youth engagement, digitalisation in food systems, and bio-waste valorisation, with a long-term vision for a cross-sectoral, fact-based action plan. The BIOEAST Initiative supports this through EU-funded collaboration, aiming to strengthen bioeconomy development across eleven countries via knowledge exchange and strategic planning.
