Many of the products and services we use today such as food and energy are produced using unsustainable fossil resources that harm our climate, nature and society. Our world is searching for alternative approaches that provide a fair and prosperous future for us all. The bioeconomy offers society a path to apply knowledge, science, technology and innovation to how we use and consume resources from our soils, fields, forests and seas that respects nature and increases social equality by reducing our use of fossil resources and developing green practices, products and local jobs in places where we wish to live. The bioeconomy will support us to value nature and be less wasteful as a society. It will allow us to produce sustainable fertilisers for our fields and nutritious food for our healthy and active lives. It will also offer us sustainable packaging for the goods we buy and innovative materials to both build our homes and support our industries to re-use its waste and reduce its energy use.
