The bioeconomy bases its economy on biomass, i.e. on the use of renewable resources.
It encompasses all activities involved in the production and processing of these resources, whether agricultural, forestry or aquaculture, as well as all co-products, in a sustainable way, to provide us with everything we need on a daily basis: food, materials, chemicals and cosmetics, as well asenergy.
The transformation of this biomass in these different sectors represents market and business opportunities for farms and companies. By creating added value, itincreases the competitiveness of our industries, while providing sustainable solutions to the environmental and social challenges we face today.
The bioeconomy is a sustainable, environmentally-friendly economy that makes more efficient use of natural resources.
