Abstract: Monitoring income distribution in the bioeconomy and food system is necessary to understand their contributions to socioeconomic development and inform related policies. This report proposes a set of replicable methodologies for the inclusion of income distribution indicators within the frameworks of the Bioeconomy Monitoring System (BMS) and the EU Food System Monitoring Framework (FSMF). The report develops four indicators to measure income distribution in the bioeconomy and food system sectors, focusing on the functional income distribution. The indicators include the average salary by sector, share of labour income over value added, employee' earnings ratio, and share of value added by sector in the food chain. The report applies these indicators to the EU bioeconomy and food system sectors, revealing significant divergences in income distribution across sectors and Member States.
