Supply of bioeconomy products

Chapter 6 in Handbook on the Bioeconomy, 2025, pp 103-119 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The main objective of this chapter is to review key topics in production economics applied to the bioeconomy. First, we address the representation of harvesting natural resources and illustrate the implications for their optimal use and sustainability. Second, we deal with the topic of increased separability in components of biomass and enlargement of options for product design, and discuss implications for supply and market organisation.We argue that in both cases further research is needed with a view to the new bioeconomy technologies and related organisational forms.Addressing the specificities of the bioeconomy through a practicable technology representation aimed at supporting economic conceptualisation is key for the “distinctivity” and usefulness of this field of research.
