BMBF - National Research Strategy BioEconomy 2030
The National Research Strategy BioEconomy 2030 is a component of the High-Tech Strategy of the Federal Government and provides vital impetus for the demand areas energy/climate and health/ nutrition, among others. With the National Research Strategy BioEcon-omy 2030, the Federal Government is establishing the conditions for the vision of a sustainable bio-based economy by 2030. This carries the promise of global food supplies that are both sufficient and healthy, and of high quality products from renew-able raw materials.
