Descripción
The Sustainable Bioeconomy Guidelines (SBG) project aimed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve food security, growth must be decoupled from fossil fuel dependence. This can be achieved through sustainable consumption and improved resource use efficiency, with bioeconomy playing a key role. Bioeconomy involves producing goods and services from biomass, such as food, feed, fibre, biomaterials and bioenergy, and is gaining global interest with various countries developing holistic bioeconomy strategies. However, sustainable development of the bioeconomy is essential and requires guidelines to ensure environmental, economic, and social benefits, as well as good governance principles. In response, FAO supports countries in developing sustainable bioeconomy policies and strategies, focusing on agrifood systems transformation. FAO’s "Bioeconomy that works for People, Food Security and Climate" (BTW) programme includes analysing existing bioeconomy strategies, creating best-practice guidelines, and developing tools for sustainable bioeconomy development. The project had two phases: Phase 1 focused on stock-taking and gap analysis of sustainable bioeconomy worldwide, while Phase 2 aimed to implement sustainable bioeconomy principles. In July 2016, the German Ministry for Food and Agriculture (BMEL) reiterated its proposal to continue funding the development of sustainable bioeconomy guidelines as part of the BTW Programme. This second phase, entitled “Towards Sustainable Bioeconomy Guidelines”, focused on improving guidance on sustainable bioeconomy at a global, national and local levels to support FAO Member States and other stakeholders in sustainable bioeconomy operations.
