♻ Achieving the EU’s vision for a more #circulareconomy that places people at its core requires actions across many sectors. Europe’s #bioeconomy – which transforms #renewable resources from #agriculture, #forests, #seas, #residues and #waste, into #food, #feed, #materials and #energy – is already contributing to this effort. But it has the potential to do far more. 🎤 On his hearing in the European Parliament last week new Agriculture EU Commissioner designate, Christophe Hansen, highlighted the potential of Europe’s #Bioeconomy: 💬 “The circular bioeconomy can play an important role in this regard. Agriculture and forestry should not only produce biomass but also add value. Scaling up the bioeconomy through the investment support in rural areas is therefore essential, and cooperative entrepreneurship in rural areas will be key to ensure that farmers and foresters benefit from bioeconomy developments.” Find out more about what #bioeconomy can do for the EU 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dQ7zHkNr #CommissionerHearings European Commission
