The emerging bioeconomy will play a valuable role in the sustainability transition all over the world, albeit unique for every country and region.
On 13 June, SEI – together with the Royal Swedish Academy of Agriculture and Forestry, and with support from SIANI – will hold a public seminar exploring pathways to a sustainable bioeconomy. The event will feature speakers from Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas.

The global bioeconomy has emerged as a key cross-cutting element of the sustainability transition in the coming decades. A modern bioeconomy offers a healthier and more prosperous future through resource efficiency, climate resilience and sustainable production systems for food, feed, fuels and value-added products and services.
Despite wide agreement on the future significance of the bioeconomy, there is less agreement on the pathways to be taken and tensions have arisen especially between conservation-oriented versus commercially-oriented systems, pathways and landscapes.
In this seminar we will discuss bioeconomy pathways in broad terms across different world regions, scales and sectors; emphasizing the key role of innovation, important development linkages, and the governance requirements.
