Summary
The bioeconomy is a place-based policy framework.
The application of sustainability principles in specific contexts therefore depends on available(environmental and human) assets, challenges and priorities, as well as access to logistics, finance and infrastructure.
It is therefore important that sustainability principles are developed with a high degree of clarity of purpose, but also with sufficient flexibility to allow for their application in different contexts.
It is particularly important to assess the impact of the bioeconomy on ecosystems and to develop options on how to protect/restore ecosystems during the development of the bioeconomy.
Detailed Call Description
Successful proposals are expected to:
- develop or improve the sustainability assessment of bio-based and food value chains, both from land and aquatic systems and their related value webs to increase transparency for businesses and consumers, enabling better informed choices;
- analyse the performance of bioeconomy innovation ecosystems with regard to social, economic, and environmental sustainability, and demonstrate their long-term feasibility (e.g. with regard to infrastructure, climate adaptation, biodiversity and ecosystem protection and restoration). Demonstrate the applicability of bioeconomy sustainability principles in regional case studies, based on the concept of Regional Innovation Valleys for Bioeconomy and Food Systems[2];
- identify and address challenges for the EU, Member States and regions (e.g. public authorities) to deploy sustainability principles and providing policy recommendations to overcome them.
The possible participation of the JRC in the project would ensure that the approach proposed is compatible with the bioeconomy working streams of the Knowledge Centre for Bioeconomy.
