Abstract

[For decades, the reliance on fossil resources for the production of fuels, chemicals, and materials has generated unsustainable economic models which have created complicated economic, environmental and geopolitical circumstances around the world. Hence, in order to become sustainable economic model, bioeconomy has to deal with those challenges, as well as the important social factor related to issues such as accentuated disparities, population growth, and mass migration. During the current transition phase towards sustainability, bioeconomy is affected by various factors, notably the availability of biomass and the development or acquisition of biorefining technologies. Once implemented on the ground, bioeconomy starts to impact various aspects related to sustainable development, the environment, and societies. Simultaneously, it starts to face new sets of challenges mainly related to serious agricultural, industrial, environmental, and social issues.]
