Social dimensions of alternative bioeconomy pathways for sustainable use of biodiversity

This policy brief examines the 'socio-bioeconomy', focusing on diversified, small-scale bioeconomy pathways centered on local community development and the sustainable use of biodiversity for bio-based goods and services.

• The socio-bioeconomy is characterized by smaller-scale, diversified pathways based on local community development and sustainable biodiversity use, which differs from bioeconomy models dependent on large-scale production of low value-added forestry or agricultural products.
• The document uses experiences from Thailand and Brazil to establish principles and recommendations for the global development of the socio-bioeconomy, linking these outcomes to the goals of the three Rio Conventions to address climate change, land degradation, and biodiversity loss.
