The European Union’s Bioeconomy Strategy is at a pivotal point of revision.

As the EU seeks to advance its transition towards circular economy, civil society organisations – backed by academic insights – are calling for a bioeconomy strategy that places sustainability, environmental resilience and social well-being on an equal footing.

This paper, prepared by the ECESP's Leadership Group on Bioeconomy, provides a multi-actor perspective. It focuses on sustainability, economic development (especially in rural areas) and regulatory frameworks. It highlights gaps in the existing strategy and proposes policy recommendations for policymakers and research institutions.
