The world is facing multiple and complex challenges. A growing population and climate change are increasing food insecurity and putting pressure on the planet\u2019s scarce resources. All of these are paving the way for a new global paradigm: replacing the fossil economy with one based on biology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 In a world dominated by the convergence between electronic and biological technologies, with high demands for food and energy, Argentina can provide solutions. In terms of the international market, Argentina is the third-largest net food exporter and is among the world\u2019s main suppliers in value chains such as soybeans, corn, wheat, peanuts, and lemons, among other products. In 2021, agro-industrial value chains represented more than 20% of its Gross National Income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to its many strengths, the Argentine agroindustrial sector can follow a path of strong and sustainable growth. Since the 1990s, the sector has undergone significant changes thanks to technological innovations that have allowed Argentina to increase its productivity and competitiveness. Known as the \u201cSustainable Intensification Strategy\u201d, it is based on the principles of conservation agriculture. Argentina\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions relative to GDP have decreased significantly between 1990 and 2020, indicating a remarkable improvement in production efficiency from an emissions perspective. These efforts are complemented by developments in the country\u2019s biotech and ag-tech sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bioeconomy explained<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bioeconomy involves the efficient and sustainable production of biomass and its subsequent transformation into food, renewable energy, biomaterials and other eco-systemic services. It can reposition Argentina on a global level, given the country\u2019s abundant endowments of natural resources and biotech capabilities. The bioeconomic nodes function as a set of processes with their inputs (physical and codified knowledge), operating routines and relationships with the subsystem. The bioeconomy strategy allows a sustainable long term development with high potential for the country and the region, based on the production and industrial transformation of biomass adding value to goods and other services. These processes involve:<\/p>\n\n\n
