The report of the ENRD Seminar 'Bioeconomy: Seizing the Opportunity for Rural Europe' (Brussels, 3 July 2019) is now available online.
The event gathered a variety of rural stakeholders to share practical examples of bioeconomy initiatives across rural Europe and discuss the role of EU policy instruments to support sustainable bio-based initiatives in rural areas. They concluded that the three main elements in mainstreaming the bioeconomy are: capacity building, cooperation and a holistic approach to sustainability.
The discussion was the culmination of the work of the ENRD Thematic Group on ‘Mainstreaming the Bioeconomy’, which will continue for a further year with a focus on climate action.
