Abstract

The bioeconomy will be the key tool in developing a circular economy policy in the biological resources sector and, as is understood in the Spanish Bioeconomy Strategy, it should be based on the following three premises: 1) the imposition of sustainability as an essential condition for the use of any natural resource; 2) the essential introduction of elements of efficiency into the system, marked by a global economy, with an increased demand for foodstuffs and biological resources, the production of which is going to be limited by climate change; and 3) the processes of production and the marketing of products require competitive industries that are sustainable through time. The bioeconomy activity in our country is predominantly weighted towards the agri-food sector, and requires new knowledge that will enable technologies to be generated that guarantee sustainability, efficiency, and productivity, in the current value chains and in new ones that must be generated based on the use of different biomass sources. These technologies have to be applied by companies in our economic environment, to ensure that the added value derived from production processes remains in our society. In addition, they can only be introduced into our economic system if they are accepted by society. Therefore, management organisations must authorise them and consumers should be prepared to acquire the products obtained. For this reason, at the Spanish Bioeconomy Strategy Observatory we consider it necessary to move forward towards an ecosystem where science and technology, society and the economy work together to overcome the challenges of our society, so that future generations will be able to enjoy a quality of life that is, at least, similar to ours.
