| description | According to the definition of OECD, bioeconomy refers to the set of economic activities relating to the innovation, development, production and use of biological products and processes. The aim of the bioeconomy is to provide more sustainable use of resources. In Europe, the concept of bioeconomy has become increasingly popular as many regions and nations have developed a national bioeconomy strategy or policies relevant to bioeconomy. However, it may not be enough to face challenges such as climate change, reduction of biodiversity, or ensuring food security. One of the solutions, especially in times of pandemic and Russia's war in Ukraine, is using new plant breeding techniques such as genome editing in agriculture. It requires radical changes in regulation and society's perception of plant breeding, especially in Europe. An important aspect is also involving the community in the bioeconomy, strengthening national and international collaboration, and providing educational tools for the public. |
