Abstract Synthetic biology (SynBio) makes easier by leveraging engineering principles and other disciplines to design construct biological systems with novel or enhanced functions. SynBio has led the development of more sustainable biotechnological innovations that are in harmony environment, aiding shift from a traditional bio‐based economy. Mexico made significant advancements biotechnology academia industry, but progress been different. Nevertheless, several initiatives, mainly supported participation Mexican International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) teams jamboree, have contributed interest SynBio. This review provides brief overview role iGEM competition current landscape synthetic Mexico, including educational citizen science as well an Synbio research industrial landscape. Additionally, description laws governing country is provided. Finally, we highlight challenges, opportunities perspectives for potential biologically based

Chemical Production Based on Biomass—Potential and Limits

Biomass, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 5(1), С. 8 - 8

Опубликована: Фев. 5, 2025

As the raw material transition from fossil to renewable feedstock progresses, demand for biogenic materials industrial purposes will increase. This applies above all energy and chemical sectors. However, capacities carbon sources be provided by agriculture forestry are limited. review examines contribution that CO2 can make sustainable production in EU. It analyses statistical data EU studies industry. First priority needs given edible biomass sector of nutrition. When it comes use biomass, sectors should prioritised cannot do without carbon-supplying materials. is particularly case field organic chemistry. focuses on bio-based products gives an outlook future Europe based primary, secondary, tertiary sources. Finally, two new indicators economically ecologically proposed. Both support determination sustainability status integration agriculture, forestry, residual, biowaste management bioeconomic value networks.

Measuring the Bioeconomy Economically: Exploring the Connections between Concepts, Methods, Data, Indicators and Their Limitations

Sustainability, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 16(20), С. 8727 - 8727

Despite its relevance, measuring the contributions of bioeconomy to national economies remains an arduous task that faces limitations. Part difficulty is associated with lack a clear and widely accepted concept moves on connections between methods, data indicators. The present study aims define concepts explore concepts, data, indicators when economically limitations involved in this process. were defined based literature review content analysis 84 documents selected through snowballing procedures find articles “how big bioeconomy?” was uploaded Quantitative Data Analysis (QDA Miner) software coded according concept, methods or models used, sources accessed, calculated, reported by authors. results occurrence co-occurrence codes extracted analyzed statistically, indicating following: measurement (i) needs recognize pursue proposed holistic bioeconomy; (ii) rarely considered aspects (3.5%); (iii) primarily biomass-based (BmBB) (94%); (iv) association biosphere (BsBB) appeared 26% studies; (v) biotech-based (BtBB) least frequent (1.2%); (vi) there diversity models, but most common are those traditionally used measure macroeconomic activities, especially input-output models; (vii) depending prevailing comes from various official statistical databases, such as accounts economic activity classification systems; (viii) frequently value added, employment, Greenhouse Gases (GHG) emissions; (ix) related indicators, others, like incomplete, missing, aggregated outdated uncertainty estimated values, subjectivity bio-shares weighting procedures, other inherent models. We conclude current efforts only partially bioeconomy, should be encouraged toward full assessment, starting recognizing pursued.

The agricultural and food production sectors have a predominant role in the bioeconomy of European Union (EU), followed by wood production. These make significant contributions not only to national economies but also local areas, particular rural ones. Although digitalisation businesses within sector transforms enterprises, improving value chains creating benefits for communities where these enterprises are situated, there still many barriers digitalisation. This study has dual aim: first, analyse EU state EU, second, assess ways support digital transformation this sector, focusing on agriculture as main contributor taking Lithuania, Latvia, Poland case studies. cluster analysis was explored R&D indicators EU. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) used determine scenarios Poland. Four stakeholder groups were selected experts study: (i) government, (ii) advisory extension, (iii) research, (iv) entrepreneurship. findings identified 4 clusters showing different levels Strong links between found. In context, assigned low-performing cluster. results AHP studies indicate overall need prioritization using funding achieve better results. Nonetheless, suggested that opinions consulting, research more aligned throughout all three countries, entrepreneurs’ differed from groups. provide quantitative information regarding They offer additional qualitative about criteria increasing level Poland, which could be useful policy-makers. practical implications shaping future trajectory policy.

The past decade has seen the rise of bioeconomy as an innovation to alleviate human-induced multidimensional and intertwined existential civilizational challenges. proponents pin responsibility structural transition towards a on decisions choices individual consumers. Prior research acceptance are dominated by how broader public relates bioeconomy, reducing end-user consumers passive recipients, leaving gaps at consumer level. This chapter develops framework for education marketing leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) drive products. It is recommended that businesses create proactive, innovative forward thinking strategies enhance sustainable lifestyle level which required adoption diffusion in society. In practice, managers will gain unique insight into agility could be developed, deployed, sustained emerging markets.
