Detail description
The European bioeconomy spans agriculture, forestry, fisheries, food, bioenergy, and bio-based products, contributing €2 trillion annually and supporting 18 million jobs. It is transitioning from linear to circular models, requiring transformation of production systems and value chains. Biomass sources include agricultural by-products, forest residues, energy crops, and biowaste, with 95% produced domestically. Key policy drivers include the European Green Deal, Circular Economy Action Plan, and Farm to Fork Strategy. Emerging sectors like blue biotechnology and small-scale biorefineries show high growth potential. The BioRural toolkit supports stakeholders with resources for developing circular bioeconomy enterprises.
