The bioeconomy encompasses the production of renewable biological
resources and their conversion into food feed, bio-based products
and bioenergy. It includes agriculture, forestry, fisheries, food
and pulp and paper production, as well as parts of chemical,
biotechnological and energy industries. Its sectors have a strong
innovation potential due to their use of a wide range of sciences
(life sciences, agronomy, ecology, food science and social
sciences), enabling and industrial technologies (biotechnology,
nanotechnology, information and communication technologies (ICT),
and engineering), and local and tacit knowledge.
