Abstract(s)
A presente dissertação aborda a Bioeconomia enquanto estratégia económica que
tem como plano de ação a utilização sustentável dos recursos renováveis para
fins industriais e alimentares, garantindo simultaneamente a proteção do meio
ambiente.
Dado o caráter transversal da Bioeconomia esta constitui uma oportunidade
única para enfrentar desafios atuais da sociedade interligados, tais como: a
segurança alimentar, a escassez de recursos naturais, a dependência de recursos
fósseis e as alterações climáticas, a par com um crescimento económico
sustentável.
Com este trabalho pretende-se compreender a Bioeconomia enquanto novo
paradigma económico. É analisada a Bioeconomia na produção de recursos
biológicos renováveis e na conversão dos mesmos recursos e fluxos de resíduos
em produtos de valor acrescentado, tais como alimentos para consumo humano
e animal, produtos de base biológica e bioenergia.
Neste contexto, a investigação e a inovação são determinantes, assim como a
interação entre as atuais políticas de promoção da Bioeconomia a nível da União
Europeia e do mundo, de modo a fomentar as melhores práticas em questões
globais em domínios como os da saúde, alterações demográficas e bem-estar da
população mundial e com vista à implementação de uma política bioeconómica
global.
Com o trabalho, pretende-se ainda obter uma visão de como a Bioeconomia vem
sendo implementada no mundo, verificando-se que vem avançando a um ritmo
acelerado em muitos países europeus, bem como em alguns países americanos e
asiáticos.
This dissertation is about Bioeconomy as an economic strategy that aims the sustainable use of renewable resources for industrial and food purposes, while ensuring the protection of the environment. Given the cross-cutting nature of Bioeconomy, it is a unique opportunity to address today's interlinked societal challenges such as: food security, natural resources scarcity, dependence on fossil fuels and climate change, together with sustainable economic growth. The dissertation aims a better understanding of Bioeconomy as a new economic paradigm. It focuses the production of renewable biological resources and the conversion of the same resources and waste streams into value added products such as food and feed, biobased products and bioenergy. In this context, research and innovation are crucial, as well as the interaction between the current promotion policies of Bioeconomy in the European Union and in the world, in order to promote best practices in global issues such as health, demographic change and well-being of the world's population and also aiming the implementation of a global Bioeconomy strategy. The dissertation also aims to get a global picture about how Bioeconomy is being implemented worldwide. It has gained special emphasis in many European countries, as well as in some American and Asian countries.
