Again on the CONSOLE website blog, we disseminate a research publications carried out by CONSOLE partners authors: Davide Viaggi, Fabio Bartolini and Méri Raggi in Bio-based and Applied Economics.
The objective of the publication has been to carry out a bibliographic review related to the Bioeconomy, with the idea of being able to identify relevant ways for future research.
As the authors point out in the Abstract, the publication is divided into four parts:
- The role of the bioeconomy and its key statistics in the European Union (EU);
- Economic issues related to the production of the Bioeconomy from the private perspective;
- Review of socio-environmental aspects with a focus on ecosystem services;
- Discussion of previous topics and cross-cutting problems to identify future research.
Also, our colleagues reported us about the recent EU strategies where they redefine the Bioeconomy as “an aggregate of sectors that use biological resources, emphasizing the interconnection with ecosystems and the contribution to economic development”.
In addition, the authors point out the importance of the Bioeconomy in the Green Deal strategy, since it is exposed in the plan as the main means to achieve the changes necessary to address global challenges.
And they make it clear that publications related to the Bioeconomy is still in its infancy and that it tends to become mainstream.
It is clear that this publication is highly recommended, especially for those specialists in the field of bioeconomics, since it shows them an updated research path to follow.
