 How can investing in bioeconomy innovation help us achieve sustainability in agri-food systems? We live in challenging times. The world's agri-food systems are currently facing multiple challenges climate change, environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, conflict, the high level of social inequality among many others. To address these challenges, we need to restore the balance between human activities and nature. What we need is an innovative economic model to transform our agri-food systems. The bioeconomy model can help us achieve sustainability as it uses renewable biological resources from land and sea like crops, forests, fish, animals and microorganisms. These will produce food, materials and energy across all economy sectors and therefore the bioeconomy model aims towards a sustainable economy. Science, technology and innovation play an important role in sustainable and circular bioeconomy and is one of key components for transforming our agri-food system and lifting small-scale farmers out of poverty and food insecurity. This is why I invite you to join us from 17 to 21st October and we discuss this and so much more during the FAEO Science and Innovation Forum 2022. We will focus on topics that will advance our efforts to better production, better nutrition, better environment and better life for all living no one behind. Working together is the right choice. Join us. Registration is now open.
