A holistic vision of bioeconomy: the concept of transdisciplinarity nexus towards sustainable development

摘要

Current issue of bioeconomy development has been largely addressed on a linear orinterdisciplinary level, however holistic view of bioeconomy requires a transdisciplinary systemanalysis. Developed methodology clarifies vision on bioeconomy definition, bioeconomydisciplines and disciplinary definition in context of nexus interlinkage, in the result concept oftransdisciplinary approach connection to bioeconomy is determined as processes for sustainablebioeconomy, that not only replace fossil resources with biobased resources, but strengthensdifferent disciplines, taken into account interlinkages, knowledge, and stakeholders andlimitations set by planetary boundaries, different dimensions should be included in transitiontowards sustainable bioeconomy. Methodology bases on critical literature analysis. Differentbioeconomy disciplines are defined and the obtained results are represented graphically. Theobtained results can be used for further research as a transdisciplinarity basis of the bioeconomy,studying specific systems, factors influencing them and evaluating potential scenarios and theirimpacting tools. Results from implementing holistic vision would provide practical benefit topolicy makers and industry actors by providing an analysis how to improve industrial practice,policy and how more effectively transfer to sustainable bioeconomy.
