Abstract
The European Commission defines bioeconomy as 'the production of renewable biological resources and the conversion of these resources and waste streams into value added products, such as food, feed, bio-based products and bioenergy'. As a consequence bioeconomy deeply involves the fields of agrifood and green chemistry, but it also cross-cuts fields such as the use of forests, biotechnologies, the production of biomaterials and bio-energies, thus addressing societal challenges such as environment remediation, issues connected with climate changes, the production of new drugs, the need of food for an increasing population. All this involves a profound change of both the objectives of research and the management policies that should have an integrated and transversal approach. From these requirements it follows the demand of a proper formation that should be integrated and interdisciplinary. The workshop Bioeconomy: biological sources for a sustainable world is the opportunity to bring up the various facets of this new approach of economy, discuss about the state of the art of bioeconomy in Lazio region, in Italy and in Europe, and share the on going activities and skills in CNR scientific network.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
