Sustainable design of the bioeconomy
In 2025, the GFFA will focus on the sustainable bioeconomy. The current economic system is facing considerable challenges because it is heavily dependent on fossil, non-renewable raw materials.
This dependence leads to the exploitation of limited resources, exacerbates the climate crisis and thus threatens the food security of the world's population. A sustainable and circular bioeconomy can play a decisive role in building a future-proof and resilient raw material base.
The bioeconomy relies on the use of raw materials from agriculture, forestry, aquaculture as well as organic residues, microorganisms and insects. The increased use of renewable resources not only creates new income and development opportunities, but also contributes to the achievement of 11 of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The GFFA aims to intensify the global dialogue on sustainable bioeconomy. The aim is to strengthen food security, actively combat the climate crisis, drive innovation and create fair framework conditions for the transition to a sustainable bioeconomy.
The GFFA 2025 focuses on four central themes of the bioeconomy:
- Sustainable production of biomass - resolving conflicting objectives
- Sustainable use of biomass - ensuring food security
- Strengthening innovations - promoting communication
- Creating fair framework conditions - seizing opportunities for change
