Bioeconomy in Germany - Background
In view of scarce fossil natural resources, climate change and the growing world population, sustainability and climate action have become key issues of the 21st century. The objective of the bioeconomy is to combine economy and ecology to ensure a more sustainable use of biological resources. The German Federal Government has introduced a wealth of innovative initiatives to set the course towards a bioeconomy. These activities dovetail in the new National Bioeconomy Strategy which was published in January 2020. The achievement of a biobased economy will represent a significant contribution to the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals set out in the UN’s 2030 Agenda.
