Bioeconomic development in Europe and in the world

Abstract

Bioeconomy is one of the leading science directions at the present time; countries and international organizations around the world pay close attention to it. They are actively working on policies and strategies for the transition to a bioeconomy. Bioeconomy is based on advances in microbiology that can be used in various processes associated with the use of biological resources; it is changing consumer preferences by bringing a new understanding of resource constraints. Despite the fact that a great contribution has already been made to the science of bioeconomy, much in it still refers to promising scientific developments in such areas as biology, biomedicine, engineering, artificial intelligence, technology, chemistry, etc. This paper provides an overview of the current strategies of different countries in the development and implementation of bioeconomy. Purpose of the work: systematization of target indicators and identification of the most significant among them for different economies. The results of the study point to the need for an in-depth analysis of the challenges and opportunities the world faces on the road to bioeconomy. In addition, it is shown the need to develop common global criteria for assessing the bioeconomic development.
