Abstract

The concept of the bioeconomy is undoubtedly attractive and carries the promise of contributing to sustainable development. However, much of its practical application to date has been characterised by isolated production processes and a largely naïve, depoliticised association with environmental conservation and economic growth.-Bioeconomy has frequently been co-opted by broader political and economic interests, serving to neutralise transformative alternatives and to reinforce the hegemonic forces that drive both environmental degradation and social exclusion.-Confronting these challenges requires moving beyond mainstream environmental management and neoliberal governance, and instead positioning the bioeconomy at the centre of a politicised struggle for socio-ecological justice, one that recognises the deep interconnections between ecological preservation, socio-political equity and the environmental justice.
