Farming a Sustainable Bioeconomy
Our global economic system is facing great challenges as it is largely dependent on non-renewable, fossil resources. It uses up finite resources, exacerbates the climate crisis and thus has a drastic impact on global food security. A sustainable, circular bioeconomy can play a key role in the further development towards a sustainable and resilient resource base.
A bio-based economy uses raw materials from agriculture, forestry and aquaculture, as well as organic waste, micro-organisms and insects. The transition towards an increased use of renewable resources therefore not only offers manifold opportunities for development and income generation but can also contribute to achieving 11 of the 17 United Nations‘ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
We intend to use the GFFA to promote the exchange on a sustainable bioeconomy and thus contribute to strengthening food security, combating the aggravating climate crisis, boosting innovation, and providing fair framework conditions for a sustainable bioeconomy.
Four central bioeconomy topics will be discussed during the 2025 GFFA:
1. Sustainably producing biomass – Solving conflicts of interest
2. Sustainably using biomass – Ensuring global food security
3. Strengthening innovation – Promoting communication
4. Creating a fair framework – Harnessing change
