The European Commission published in October 2018 its updated bioeconomy strategy and action plan to develop a sustainable and circular bioeconomy across the EU.

The new document is a revision of the 2012 bioeconomy strategy and aims to improve and scale up the sustainable use of renewable resources to address global and local challenges such as climate change and sustainable development.
