Book (stand-alone)Promoting bioeconomy through agriculture practice in Eastern Europe and Central Asia 2025
Also available in:
This report, published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), explores the promotion of bioeconomy through sustainable agricultural practices in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. The analysis highlights the critical role of sustainable and circular bioeconomy in addressing environmental, social, and economic challenges, particularly in the agrifood sector. By leveraging nature-based solutions, reducing dependence on non-renewable resources, and revitalizing rural areas, the bioeconomy fosters ecosystem restoration, food security, and climate resilience.The report provides an in-depth regional assessment, identifying key agricultural practices aligned with bioeconomy principles. It evaluates production trends, regional agricultural systems, and the integration of bioeconomy strategies across diverse subregions, from the Western Balkans to Central Asia. The findings underscore the potential for bioeconomy to drive innovation in value chains, reduce environmental impact, and contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).Challenges such as limited statistical compatibility and uneven availability of data across subregions are addressed. Despite these limitations, the document offers a foundational perspective for understanding the intersection of bioeconomy and sustainable agriculture. It also identifies opportunities for further research and policy development to optimize the transition towards sustainable agrifood systems, emphasizing collaboration, resource efficiency, and technological innovation. -

In each of the FAO programme countries and territories in Europe and Central Asia, the Organization and its many partners achieved great success in 2022 in advancing towards the four betters – better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life.
