🌱 The bioeconomy is a viable solution to complex global challenges, and public and private sectors can drive this transformation.   🔎 In this study, the authors explore perceptions of the bioeconomy among public and private sector actors in nine European regions through the prism of their familiarity and understanding of its constituent parts: concepts, value chains, benefits and risks. 🔗 Read the full paper: https://lnkd.in/dFZjGCwz 📝 European Forest Institute, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU), Cesefor, Government of Catalonia, NEIKER BRTA, Tuscany Region, Pohjois-Karjalan maakuntaliitto, Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, B2BE Facilitator (Business to Bioeconomy) and Wald und Holz NRW. #Publication #worthreading #knowledgetoaction

🚨 Paper alert 🚨 📝 How do the public and private sector perceive the bioeconomy? Insights from nine different regions in Europe can help shape the bioeconomy. 🌳 Key findings are: (1) We observe positive attitudes towards the bioeconomy. (2) Environmental benefits are perceived to be the most distinguishing factor in comparison with the conventional economy. (3) Despite an emerging consensus on key elements and dynamics of the bioeconomy, sector-specific focus areas and regional specificity of conditions prevent uniformity of the bioeconomy across regions. 📣 A big shout out to all co-authors who were a part of this journey!
