The human population will reach 9500 million people in 2050.

This increase in population will trigger the need for food, energy and raw materials for the production of all consumer goods required by society. The pressure caused by intensive agriculture will increase, depleting arable land and resources, with expected imbalances in ecosystems and increased political instability.

The bioeconomy tries to respond to these challenges through the use of sustainable and renewable raw materials and increasingly efficient processes.
