The bioeconomy holds promise in reducing dependence on fossil fuels, addressing climate change, and promoting resource efficiency, thereby stimulating economic growth, innovation, and improving food security. In 2020, the International Advisory Council on Global Bioeconomy (IACGB) released a comprehensive report that analyzed the progress of bioeconomy policies across the globe up until that year. This study builds on that report, analyzing bioeconomy policy trends between 2020 and 2024. The study aims to contribute valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and other stakeholders involved in shaping the evolving bioeconomy landscape. In the following, we illuminate some of the most crucial insights that emerge from this analysis.
