Challenges & Key Drivers 23
Why is the Bioeconomy important? Challenges Increasing global population moving towards 9 billion by 2050 Natural resources were consumed and rapidly depleted Increasing environmental pressures and climate change Needs for increased health services All of these crises can be addressed by the bio-economy. https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/2067190608/71_watermark_400x400.png
