Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochurePromoting sustainable and circular bioeconomy through agriculture practice in Eastern Europe and Central Asia 2023
Also available in:
This report presents an overview of concepts related to bioeconomy and the benefits of their implementation in agriculture and shares agriculture production trends, bioeconomy initiatives and sustainable agriculture approaches from throughout the Eastern Europe and Central Asia region. It provides a canvas for the consideration of potential policies and initiatives that can support the development of sustainable agriculture approaches, adapted to each country, and the promotion of bioeconomy in agriculture practice in the region. Sustainable agriculture approaches – particularly organic production and climate-smart farming – are steadily gaining ground in the region. Bioenergy has significant untapped potential, and agroforestry and pastoralist activities also present important unused opportunities, given the low levels of investment needed for their implementation. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyCase studies promoting bioeconomy through agricultural practices in Europe and Central Asia 2026
Also available in:
No results found.Across Eastern Europe and Central Asia, farmers, innovators, and communities are transforming agriculture into a driver of sustainability. The Case Studies Promoting Bioeconomy through Agricultural Practice in Europe and Central Asia takes readers on a journey through ten inspiring examples where tradition meets innovation – from vermicomposting in Armenia and regenerative organic farming in Austria to women-led textile cooperatives in Türkiye and conservation agriculture in Uzbekistan. Each story shows how bioeconomy principles can turn challenges such as soil degradation, waste, and climate stress into opportunities for growth, resilience, and inclusion. These cases prove that the circular bioeconomy is not an abstract concept, but a living reality – one that powers farms with biogas, restores contaminated soils with plants and microbes, and empowers rural women through local value chains. Together, they paint a vivid picture of a region rethinking how food is produced, energy is generated, and communities thrive – offering a roadmap for sustainable agrifood systems that are not only productive, but regenerative and fair for all. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025
Addressing high food price inflation for food security and nutrition
2025While some progress and recovery have been made in recent years, the world is still above pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels and far from eradicating hunger and food insecurity by 2030 (SDG Target 2.1). Similarly, despite some progress in the global nutrition targets, the world is not on track to achieve SDG Target 2.2. Among other factors, persistent food price inflation has slowed this momentum.The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025 highlights how elevated inflation in many countries has undermined purchasing power and, especially among low-income populations, access to healthy diets. The report documents how high food price inflation is associated with increases in food insecurity and child malnutrition. Vulnerable groups, including low-income households, women, and rural communities, can be particularly affected by food price inflation, risking setbacks in the fight against hunger and malnutrition.In response to these challenges and to prevent future price shocks, the report examines policy measures adopted by countries, and outlines what is necessary going forwards. It stresses the importance of coherent implementation of fiscal and monetary policies to stabilize markets, promote open and resilient trade, and protect vulnerable populations. Additionally, it calls for better data systems and sustained investment in resilient agrifood systems to build long-term food security and nutrition. These coordinated actions are vital to reignite progress towards ending hunger and malnutrition by 2030. -
