💡Presentation 2 – Business Case for Bioeconomy/Value Proposition for a #Bioeconomy Transition in #Africa
🔸According to @JuliusEcuru, @icipe, the #bioeconomy is seen as a future #growth pathway, appealing to policymakers due to its biologically based, innovation-driven, sustainable, & cross-sectoral nature. Its value lies in offering goods & services from environmentally friendly production processes.
