Sustainable Bioeconomy

Plants as basis for food, renewable raw material and energy

Plants and plant production play very important roles in a future bioeconomy because they are: (i) central elements of production systems determining inputs such as water, nutrients or enery effciency; (ii) provide renewable biomass for the use as food or feed as raw materials for chemicals, for direct use or for bioenergy; and (iii) are essential elements in production systems to close (nutrient) cycles, which are vital for developing a sustainable bioeconomy.
