The Role of the Bioeconomy in Achieving Sustainability
摘要
Bioeconomy plays a key role in achieving sustainability, as it seeks to harness natural resources, biodiversity, and biological technologies to reduce pollution, promote economic growth, and improve social well-being equitably. Bioeconomy can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve the integration of the circular economy by transforming organic waste and biomass into valuable products. Likewise, bioeconomy drives innovation, job creation, biodiversity conservation, and social well-being by creating networks within communities. Bioeconomy can contribute to food security and rural development through agricultural practices that improve soil health and crop yields and provide new sources of income for communities. It also provides benefits to human health and the environment through the development of pharmaceutical products. This book presents various theoretical and applied studies of the bioeconomy in Latin America from a multidisciplinary perspective and methods, encompassing economics, biotechnology, sociology, and others.
