circular-bioeconomy

3 articles

The circular bioeconomy is an economic model that integrates biological resources, processes, and principles to minimize waste by keeping plant-derived materials and nutrients in continuous use cycles. In plant science, this framework drives research into valorizing agricultural residues, optimizing biomass production, and developing crops specifically suited for cascading use — where every part of the plant contributes to food, feed, fiber, fuel, or fertilizer. This approach is critical for developing sustainable agricultural systems that reduce dependence on finite resources while maximizing the ecological and economic value extracted from plant biomass.
