Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global bio-economy has been subject to a series of dramatic shocks in the last several years. These have included the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia–Ukraine War. Governments have responded with policies which sometimes have amplified the disruptions of food and energy supply chains, private investments, and innovation systems. The bio-economy innovation system has responded by intensifying investments in medical innovation to control the pandemic. Many countries reduced government expenditures on research and innovation to meet more immediate needs. Breakthroughs in biological knowledge and research tools have created new opportunities for innovation.
The editors of this Special Issue are seeking papers which:
(1) Analyze the way the bioeconomy innovation system evolved, and has responded to shocks;
(2) Analyze on the linkage between innovations and product supply chains in the bioeconomy;
(3) Identify evidence based policy options that can make the bioeconomy innovation system more productive and resilient in the future.
