The circular economy (CE) and bioeconomy (BE) are recognized as potential solutions for achieving sustainable development, yet little research has examined their contribution to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this study, we conducted a bibliometric analysis of 649 articles published between 2007 2022, well systematic literature review 81 articles, assess extent which CE BE communities have addressed SDGs. Our identified 10 gaps including limited number empirical quantitative papers, particularly in context BE, underrepresentation developing regions such Latin America Africa literature. main finding reveals that community primarily focuses on SDG 12, Responsible Consumption Production, followed by 9, Industry, Innovation, Infrastructure; 7, Affordable Clean Energy; 6, Water Sanitation. community, other hand, 9 12. However, both lack attention social SDGs quality education, poverty, gender equality. We propose combination known bioeconomy, could help countries achieve all Further is needed develop implement policies address these promote development. sense, our study an important gap needs more future.

Опубликована: Май 8, 2024

Abstract The concept of the bioeconomy holds great promise for promoting green growth and competitiveness across Europe through use renewable biological resources, such as plant animal biomass, while adhering to principles circularity. Despite its introduction by European Commission in 2015, little effort has been made define or describe what exactly a circular entails. In case Greece particular, however, survival region Western Macedonia appears be highly dependent on sustaining agricultural activity incorporating elements related this crucial sector economy. order transformation effective, bio-economic practices relevant crop production appropriate alternative management must universally implemented at all levels. To achieve this, it was necessary collect questionnaires from 412 farmers analysis purposes, classify their responses based k-means cluster analysis, which later formed these systematic groups: modernists, early adopters latecomers. Evaluation categories revealed variety factors, age income, that significantly influenced attitudes towards adopting farming circularity principles. Overall, understanding challenges opens door policy decisions aimed supporting development sustainable rural areas.
