THE GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF BIOECONOMY THROUGH 2020 STRATEGY

Present and future economic development involves a high consumption of natural, informational resources, in order to generate economic goods which satisfy the global demand. The danger would be the excessive use of natural resources, the Planet being unable to replace them, to restore or store them. The fault that was generated between economy, as the primary human activity of creating economic goods to satisfy the needs of humanity and nature, as the main reservoir for the production of natural resources, supporting life in order to coordinate ensuring biodiversity, biorhythm and perpetuation of species, has led to taking positions for the purposes of reconsidering production methods, development trends and development needs of mankind in the context of ensuring and preserving life opportunities. In this regard, the European Union carried out Europe 2020 strategy though which it advocates for bio-economy as a key element for a smart and green growth in Europe. Within this strategy there are identified a number of human actions that jeopardize the continuance of life on Earth, from production models which society applies, waste management, incidence of productive and polluting activities on the natural environment, to diets, consumption patterns and their influence on the population’s living arrangements.
