Summary

This third chapter concludes the first part of the book with a specific focus on the current mainstreamed conceptualisation of the bioeconomy, including expectations and criticisms about its potential societal contribution. Drawing from the green and circular economy – two ideas popularised during the past two decades in the academic, policy, and practitioner communities – the chapter discusses future avenues for the conceptual development and practical implementation of the bioeconomy.
