Handbook Of Research On Bioeconomy And Economic Ecosystems

Bioeconomy is an essential natural capital for life, citizen well-being, and societal prosperity. After decades of intense damaging use, pollution, and hydrological stress, Europe's ecosystems are acutely threatened with serious degradation. This situation not only means acute economic loss, but also entails catastrophic ecological, social, and cultural damage. Handbook of Research on Bioeconomy and Economic Ecosystems is a critical resource that explores the conservation of ecosystems and their biodiversity and discusses potential new challenges in terms of the economic, social, and environmental path for Europe and other regions of the world. Featuring research on topics such as bioeconomy, circular economy, and economic and social analysis, this book is ideally designed for city authorities, experts, officers, business representatives, economists, politicians, academicians, and researchers.
