Drivers of the European Bioeconomy inTransition(BioEconomy2030)an exploratory, model-based assessment
The bioeconomy comprises sectors that use renewable biological resources to produce food, materials and energy. It is at the centre of several global and EU challenges in the near future such
as the creation of growth and jobs, climate change, food security and resource depletion.
“Bioeconomy 2030” projects a reference scenario (‘business as usual’) and compares it with two
distinct policy narratives (‘Outward-looking’ and ‘Inward-looking’) to understand the drivers of
EU’s bioeconomy up to 2030, assess its resilience to fulfil such diverse policy goals and identify
potential trade-offs.
