Matís' director of research was recently invited to sit on the European Bioeconomy Council, but it is a great honor, not only for Matís but also for the Icelandic scientific community. Matís sincerely congratulates Herði.

When we talk about the European bioeconomy, we mean the food industry, feed production, forestry, fisheries, agriculture, aquaculture and the biochemical industry. European countries make great efforts to increase the co-operation of those who produce, manage and utilize organic resources or engage in other activities based on them. This refers to sectors such as food production, fisheries, agriculture, forestry, aquaculture and other related sectors.

It can be very difficult to shed light, in words, on what a bioeconomy is. It can therefore be a good idea to take pictures, as it is well known that a picture is 1000 words long.
