    The "Circular Bioeconomy in Abidjan: from food waste to fork" (BioDAF) project involves setting up a Farm School for the production and rearing of Black Soldier Fly larvae in Abidjan. In addition to producing agricultural inputs (dried larvae and digestate) to meet the needs of urban and peri-urban agriculture, the project aims to train people in Black Soldier Fly larvae rearing. They will be able to develop grow-out units in their neighborhoods, based on the collection of bio-waste from Abidjan's markets. Successive trainings and services will enable scaling up of this activity throughout the city. It will contribute to cleaning up the city and income diversification.

    The project "From Coffee Waste to Value: A Circular Bioeconomy Model for Agrifood and Skincare Innovation" involves setting up Coffeeco Upcycle, an initiative in Greece that transforms spent coffee grounds into high-value applications in the food packaging and skincare sectors. In addition to producing sustainable materials and bioactive compounds to meet the needs of these industries, the project aims to train stakeholders in upcycling techniques for spent coffee grounds. They will be able to develop decentralized upcycling units in their communities, based on the collection of coffee waste from local cafes and coffee retailers. Successive trainings and services will enable scaling up of this activity throughout the region. It will contribute to reducing agro-industrial waste, increasing resource efficiency, and creating diversified income streams.

    FAO Members endorsed Bioeconomy for Sustainable Food and Agriculture as one of 20 programme priority areas (PPAs) in FAO’s Strategic Framework for 2022–2031. The bioeconomy PPA is led by the FAO Office of Climate Change, Biodiversity and Environment, and co-led by the FAO Agrifood Economics Division. FAO’s approach to bioeconomy has a special focus on Sustainable Development Goal 12 (responsible consumption and production), in particular on achieving more sustainable natural resource management, less pollution and less waste. It also aims to promote bioeconomy innovations to support food security, rural livelihoods, Indigenous rights, gender and youth empowerment, climate action, and biodiversity and ecosystem restoration.
