On June, 20th in Arras and on June 21st, 2017 in Amiens, the World Forum for a Responsible Economy offers two days of international conferences on the bioeconomy.
Through the lenses of agro-resources and food, we will explore how economic sectors and territories can seize the opportunities presented by bioeconomy.
Which biomass for which uses? How can we meet human needs while sustainably managing our resources? Which innovations are needed to ensure the competitiveness of bio-based products and materials and how can they be stimulated?
Can we and how can we make our food practices evolve in order to satisfy human needs on a global scale? Which new food systems are appearing to meet the expectations of both the consumer and the producer?
To answer these questions, French and international speakers will come share their expertise and present their best practices.
