The European Commission defines the bioeconomy or bio-based economy as all economic activity involving the production of renewable biological resources and the conversion of these resources and waste streams into value added products, such as food, feed, bio-based products and bioenergy. Bioeconomic activities have been established as old as humanity and provide raw materials from plants, animals, and microorganisms for human life. However, not all bioeconomy activities are sustainable, and they can have both positive and negative effects on the planet’s climate and biodiversity. Most marine resources are already fully utilised, many are over utilised. Many forests are being exploited faster than they can recover. Agricultural land is degrading in many parts of the world. Therefore, now the main goal of bioeconomy activities is sustainable knowledge-based bioeconomy.Global population growth by 2050 is estimated to lead to a 70% increase in food demand, which includes a projected twofold increase in world meat consumption. This further reinforces the urgency that biodiversity conservation has a strong role in supporting sustainable bioeconomy.
