Bioeconomy

European Commission, 2018:
“The bioeconomy covers all sectors and systems that rely on biological resources (animals, plants, micro-organisms and derived biomass, including organic waste), their functions and principles.
It includes and interlinks:
  • land and marine ecosystems and the services they provide;
  • all primary production sectors that use and produce biological resources (agriculture, forestry, fisheries and aquaculture);
  • all economic and industrial sectors that use biological resources and processes to produce food, feed, bio-based products, energy and services“
