Deployment of bioeconomy at local scale: Institutions, policies and actors

Abstract

Institutions, policies and companies are the main drivers of the transition of production systems towards a circular bioeconomy. However, it is sometimes necessary to recognise the important role of certain individuals in the success of such important initiatives. This article looks at the main actors in the deployment of the circular bioeconomy in Spain's leading fresh fruit and vegetable producing province, with special recognition for Dr. Christian Patermann.
