🚀[NEWS] - The #bioeconomy sector in Southern Europe! As part of the ShapingBio project, a report has been established on the main strategies, collaborative structures and policy instruments in different macro regions of Europe. 👉 Let's find out more about the Southern Europe macro-region (Spain, Portugal, Malta, Italy, Greece, and Cyprus)! 🔗https://shorturl.at/MRtPi #innovation #environment #agriculture #EuropeanUnion #climatechange

Interesting bioeconomy facts & figures.......   The #EU #bioeconomy employed 17.5 million people in 2017, which represents 8.9% of the total labour force. It also created up to EUR 614 billion of value added, which represents 4.7% of GDP. Source: https://bit.ly/3R357yN

🌿 Southern Europe: A Key Player in the EU's Bioeconomy Future! 🌿 Did you know that Southern Europe, encompassing Spain, Portugal, Malta, Italy, Greece, and Cyprus, is crucial for the EU's bioeconomy goals? Representing over 25% of EU's area and nearly 29% of its population, this region has immense potential to drive sustainable economic growth. Primary production and industrial use of biomass agriculture, forestry, and fisheries are the backbone of the Southern macro-region's bioeconomy. Countries like Italy and Spain lead in the implementation of bioeconomy strategies, while the region faces challenges such as policy coordination and sustainable resource management. Learn more about Southern Europe’s bioeconomy potential and the strategic initiatives supporting its progress. 👉 Read the full article here 🔗 https://shorturl.at/HYd7C #Bioeconomy #SouthernEurope #EUGoals #ShapingBio

𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬-𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 There is no doubt that #bioeconomy holds a great potential to help solve societal challenges such as climate change, dependence on fossil fuels and can contribute to a better utilisation of our raw materials. A crucial element of its success is cross-sectoral collaboration, where different industries work together to unlock the full potential of bio-based solutions. To take a closer look at how this collaboration works within the food sector in Denmark, we conducted an expert interview with Lars Visbech Sørensen, CEO of Food & Bio Cluster Denmark, which is the national cluster organisation for the food and bioresource industry in Denmark. Further, Lars is also a member of the National Bioeconomy Panel in Denmark, which develops recommendations to the government on the development of bioeconomy in Denmark. According to Lars, the Danish food sector already works cross-sectoral, where the actors in the value chain try to use bioresources optimally via cascade exploitation. This refers to maximising the biological resources across different stages, where each stage's by-products or residues are further utilised to minimise waste and maximise the overall value extracted from the resources. Cross-sectoral collaboration is often seen where the biomass quantities are. Examples of this are: ➡Biomass from agriculture and food used as raw material for renewable energy e.g. biogas and biodiesel ➡Biomass from wood chips used for heating Incineration of waste for energy ➡Biomass as raw material for the ingredient industry e.g. fermentation and enzymes ➡Sugar from sugar beet, used as an ingredient for fermenting proteins for enzyme production 🔗Get access to the whole interview by reading the full article here 👉 https://shorturl.at/6qzaE
