development to an economy that uses biological resources and innovation in biological
sciences requires the formulation of new strategies and policies focused on comprehensive
analyzes. The aim of this study is to contribute to a better understanding of the concept and
policies of bioeconomy and to analyze citizens' behaviors and perceptions about the
development of bioeconomy in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. The
comparative vision has the role to in identifying differences and similarities between
national systems and is captured by applying a cluster analysis. The data are from European
official statistics – EUROSTAT, plus data collected under Eurobarometer 88.1, from the
European Commission and European Parliament. The analysis of the data shows that there
are differences between the countries considered, from the perspective of the socioeconomic context and also in terms of behaviors that support the bioeconomy. Further
efforts are needed in the development of the bioeconomy to achieve both economic growth
and employment opportunities as well as the development of behavior centered on the
sustainability and resource efficiency of the resource. |
