Lecture series and panel discussion with the Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg
In times of climate change, a growing world population and a dramatic decline in biodiversity, the earth's resources must be used and preserved efficiently and sustainably. The bioeconomic approach pursues this goal by calling for the transformation to a sustainable and bio-based economic system. In addition to countless opportunities, however, the bioeconomic concept also conceals risks. Does the bioeconomy have a future as a form of economy? Which areas of social life are affected? Can the bioeconomy be sustainable?
In six digital lectures, the series „Bioökonomie – eine nachhaltige Wirtschaftsform mit Zukunft?“ ("Bioeconomy - a sustainable form of economy for the future?") examined the opportunities and risks of the bioeconomy from the perspectives of technology, nutrition, energy, environmental ethics and economics.
