To facilitate a fair bioeconomy transition, stronger regional-level linkages are needed
Abstract: The great hopes in Brussels that a circular bioeconomy will help bridge the growing divide between urban and rural areas and allow the hinterlands to prosper from ‘green growth’ are addressed in this article, which reflects on insights from three Nordic case studies of brown, green and blu...
