Corporate Power in the Bioeconomy

The document examines how the bioeconomy transition in Brazil has disproportionately benefited corporate agribusiness, thereby reinforcing social inequalities and hindering sustainable development.

• The bioeconomy transition can either sustainably reduce fossil fuel dependence or increase human dependence on the environment, depending on its implementation.
• In Brazil, the bioeconomy is presented as a means to preserve the environment and support economies, but in practice, it has primarily benefited corporate agribusiness.
• Brazil's approach to the bioeconomy maintains existing social inequalities and skewed power structures, which obstructs sustainable development and serves as a warning to other nations.
