报告内容：

Bioeconomy advances rapidly worldwide as a concept and as an important element of transformative economic strategies. Many countries and regions have launched bioeconomy strategies. The G20 und Brazil’s leadership in 2024 and India the year before have put Bioeconomy on the global agenda. These trends toward Bioeconomy are exogenously driven by recent advances for bio-product and process innovations, and by the increasingly recognized need to address the ecological problems of the Anthropocene and Climate change in particular. Bioeconomy is endogenously driven by established evidence of opportunities in bioeconomy that leads to investments, by strategic science policy getting proactively engaged, and by scale and network effects, and the expected benefits in the food system.
