As part of the Bonn Alliance for Sustainability Research, the University of Bonn and the Center for Development Research (ZEF) are working on the project “Bioeconomy in North Rhine-Westphalia: A study on the reorientation of NRW’s bio-economic strategy“.
Bioeconomy, which is dedicated to renewable biological resources and their use in, among other things, food, energy and bio-based products, comprises many sectors (food and various production industries, agriculture, forestry and fisheries, biotechnology and process technology, energy industries, trade, logistics, etc.) and is characterised by a complex landscape of actors and interests.
The aim of the study is to produce a systematic overview of bioeconomic activity in NRW and to analyse the expectations and ideas of the relevant actors regarding a revised bioeconomy strategy in NRW in order to identify thematic and/or regionalised approaches and needs and to address them specifically in the revised strategy.
