What is Bioeconomy SA?
Bioeconomy SA is a national initiative to promote and harness bio-innovation for economic growth and social development. It is informed by the National Bioeconomy Strategy, underpinned by advanced science and indigenous knowledge and focuses on the health, agricultural, industrial & environmental, and indigenous knowledge sectors. It is coordinated by the Department of Science and Innovation and powered by a wide range of public-private partnerships and investments.
Agriculture
Invest in bio-innovation products, processes and technology services to ensure food security and sustainable livelihoods.
Industry & Environment
Use bio-based processes and renewable biomass to manufacture bioproducts and enable a circular economy.
Indigenous Knowledge
Indigenous knowledge systems cut across the three other sectors and translate traditional bio-based knowledge into products and services.
