Handbook on the bioeconomy

edited by Davide Viaggi (Professor of Agricultural Economics, Department of Agricultural and Food Sciences, University of Bologna, Italy)

"Providing a comprehensive account of the latest research and thinking on the bioeconomy, Davide Viaggi brings together expert authors to reflect on the economics of using renewable biological resources to produce bio-based materials, food, energy and more, through a wide set of technological pathways including biotechnology. The Handbook analyses the evolving concept of the bioeconomy and its potential as a solution to major global societal and sustainability challenges, including food security, ecosystem management, the limits to growth and combating climate change and pollution. Chapters explore topics including bioeconomy strategies and policies, the demand and supply of biomass and bioeconomy products and innovation systems. Authors examine the bioeconomy's links with sustainability, the circular economy and ecosystem services, and education to build skills and change behaviours. The Handbook also highlights the importance of economic modelling and of a system dynamics approach to investigate structural transformation. Mapping potential pathways for future research, the Handbook on the Bioeconomy is an essential resource for scholars and students of agricultural and food economics, environmental, energy and resource economics and the economics of innovation. Students of public policy, sustainability and societal impacts of climate change will also find it beneficial"--
