The bioeconomy, which in the EU is worth an estimated €2 trillion employing 9% of the workforce, is the production and use of renewable resources from land and sea, and the use of waste to make value added products, such as food, feed, bio-based products and bioenergy.

It is a concept that provides a blueprint for a more competitive, renewables-based future for Europe: a future of appreciating the value of the many sectors that make up the EU bioeconomy and enabling them to become more competitive through better use of renewable resources. This, in turn, will help create new jobs, growth and environmental benefits for Europe.
