FAO and EU’s JRC launch bioeconomy publication for policymakers

In Italy, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) launched an important new bioeconomy publication for policymakers in countries and macro-regions. The Guidance note on monitoring the sustainability of bioeconomy at a country or macro-regional level, which was commissioned by the International Bioeconomy Forum (IBF), for the first time describes in easy-to-follow steps how countries and macro-regions, such as the European Union (EU), can monitor sustainability along with their bioeconomy strategies and policies.
