The transition toward a sustainable and circular bioeconomy is reshaping economic systems, production structures, and policy landscapes across the globe. It encompasses technological, institutional, ecological, and social innovations that aim to reduce dependence on fossil resources, enhance resource efficiency, and promote new bio-based products, processes, and value chains. While the bioeconomy promises opportunities for climate mitigation, rural development, and green industrialization, it also raises critical questions regarding inclusivity, justice, governance, and unintended consequences.
The Bioeconomy Economics Conference 2026 provides an interdisciplinary platform for scholars to engage with these questions. We particularly welcome contributions that engage with the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of the bioeconomy using diverse theoretical and methodological approaches.
