BIOECONOMY EMERGES AS ONE OF THE MAIN DRIVERSTO ASSIST IN SOLVING THESE ISSUES
Sectors of a new economy based on renewable biological
resources (or biomass) are still emerging and do not have a fulfilled
defined industrial and business structure. Competition, in this case, is
based on innovations.
New biomasses, deconstruction and conversion technologies, bioproducts and
business models are being tested and improved.
Considering this, several countries have been structuring strategies,
policies and programs for the development and support of their
bio-industries.
GLOBAL BIOECONOMY
Common aspects across the strategies:
• Add value to primary production
• Use of the waste streams
• Reduce the dependence on fossil raw materials, replacing with biomass
• Develop of new productive systems and business models

INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION
Collective effort among 20 countries to accelerate
the development and deployment of advanced
biofuels as an alternative to fossil fuels.
Argentina, Brasil, Canadá, China, Denmark, Egypt, Finland, France,
India, Indonesia, Italy, Marocco, Mozambique, Netherlands,
Paraguay, Sweden, United Kingdom, Uruguay and USA
Toward a Latin America and Caribean Knowledge
Based Bio-Economy in Partnership with Europe
Pioneer project led by CIRAD (2011-2013) to build the foundations of
a strategic alliance between the EU and LAC regarding the
bioeconomy and its insertion in the public agendas of LAC countries.
MISSION
To elaborate, coordinate, implement and articulate policies
and programmes to accelerate the generation process of
knowledge, technology and innovation through the
interaction between academic and productive
sectors in order to improve the competitiveness of national
bioeconomy.
GENERAL COORDINATION OF BIOECONOMY
GENERAL OBJECTIVE
To stimulate economic activities that add value to
biological processes, biomasses and natural
resources considering the integrated approaches of water-
energy-food security through technological solutions of
lower environmental impact.

BIOECONOMY CONCEPT
Set of economic activities based on the use of renewable
biological resources (biomass) in place of fossil
raw materials for the production of food, feed, materials,
chemicals, fuels and energy for the production and
promotion of health, sustainable development,
growth and well-being for society.
Sustainable use of renewable biological resources and of the national
biodiversity in place of fossil raw materials
