Government and industry’s bioeconomy perceptions survey
Bioeconomy perceptions
Transitioning towards a more sustainable economy and society is necessary for broad social and political support; the views of different groups are essential to maximise impact.
Policymakers, government officials and stakeholders from the forest and wood sector can contribute to promoting the forest bioeconomy. However, we need to understand first how their perceptions of the topic.
To identify the current state of government and industry perceptions, the Bioregions Facility conducted research on stakeholders’ views regarding the forest bioeconomy.
