ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Bioeconomy

The bioeconomy is an economic system that works with nature to make our lives better. It uses plants, animals and other resources from nature to produce things that people can use. This can include things like food, medicine, building materials and energy. For example, farmers might grow crops that can be used for food and fuel, or a forest might be managed to provide wood for buildings. By using nature in this way, we can help protect the environment and create jobs.
