Synopsis (short abstract) Este informe, se centra en cómo monitorear la sostenibilidad de la bioeconomía y describe cómo desarrollar dos sistemas de monitoreo; flujos cualitativos de biomasa de los principales productos básicos agrícolas y su sostenibilidad y circularidad, y el análisis de sectores de base biológica dentro de la economía en general. Ambos se complementan para obtener un análisis exhaustivo de la sostenibilidad de la bioeconomía y proporcionar una base sólida para evaluar la circularidad en los flujos de biomasa y el desarrollo intersectorial de la bioeconomía. El documento examina el ejemplo de Uruguay para la soja, el arroz, la ganadería, la silvicultura (coníferas y no coníferas) y la pesca y la acuicultura y analiza la sostenibilidad de los productos básicos como la pulpa de eucalipto (silvicultura), la carne vacuna (ganadería), la soja (cultivos), leche en polvo (productos lácteos) y pesca. También analiza la participación de la bioeconomía dentro de la economía nacional y analiza su sostenibilidad. El informe se basa en los Principios y criterios aspiracionales para una bioeconomía sostenible desarrollados por el Grupo de trabajo internacional sobre bioeconomía sostenible liderado por la FAO, que proporcionan una plantilla de seguimiento útil que podría guiar a otros países y regiones y vincularse con los Objetivos de desarrollo sostenible. This publication focuses on how to monitor the sustainability of the bioeconomy and describes how to develop two monitoring systems; qualitative biomass flows of major agricultural commodities and their sustainability and circularity, and analysis of bio-based sectors within the wider economy. Both complement each other to obtain a comprehensive analysis of the sustainability of the bioeconomy and to provide a solid basis for assessing the circularity in biomass flows and cross-sectoral development of the bioeconomy. The study provides an example in Uruguay, for soybean, rice, livestock, forestry (coniferous and non-coniferous) and fisheries and aquaculture and analyses the sustainability of core products such as Eucalyptus pulp (forestry), beef (livestock), soybeans (crops), milk powder (dairy products) and fisheries. It also looks at the share of the bioeconomy within the national economy and analyses its sustainability. The Aspirational Principles and Criteria for a sustainable bioeconomy developed by the FAO-led International Sustainable Bioeconomy Working Group provide a useful monitoring template that could guide other countries and regions and link to the Sustainable Development Goals.

The bioeconomy toolbox
A guide to support the development of sustainable bioeconomy strategies and policies
2024

Also available in:

No results found.

Bioeconomy is credited as being one of the key pillars for the FAO Strategic Framework 2022–2031 to support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. More than 60 countries and regions have a dedicated bioeconomy or bioscience strategy today, and many more are already implementing the bioeconomy with plans and programmes, often also attempting to monitor and evaluate the progress towards the transition. Moreover, where trade-offs exist between different sustainability objectives, the bioeconomy offers an opportunity to realign the economy with the biosphere and account for the trade-offs in a holistic way. This toolbox provides a methodology to guide the development of bioeconomy strategies, and other elements to support its deployment, from dedicated governance systems, to monitoring frameworks to action on the ground. Many of the examples in this toolbox refer to knowledge gained through FAO experience, while being forward-looking and designed to help more countries and regions embark on or continue their journey towards building a sustainable bioeconomy. This aligns with FAO’s strategic mission over the next decade; FAO is the first United Nations entity to elevate bioeconomy to a corporate priority, including it as one of 20 programme priority areas under its Strategic Framework 2022–2031. This reflects the growing role that FAO sees for bioeconomy as a driver of sustainable agrifood systems transformation over the next decade.

Trends, opportunities and challenges
2024

Also available in:

No results found.

The report provides a comprehensive assessment of the current status of Africa’s forest and circular bioeconomy and prospective future trends. By synthesizing evidence across several studies, the report seeks to provide an understanding of the current status of the forest economy in Africa including consumption and production trends, sector entry points, existing market opportunities, challenges, lessons learned, and gaps, as well as impactful investment cases for the forest and circular bioeconomy. It also examines future trends and opportunities for the African continent in the forest economy.
