About bioeconomic policy
The goals of bioeconomic policy for Iceland are to support sustainable development and the development of an economy based on the utilization of living resources, across the so-called traditional industries, agriculture, fisheries and food processing. This work has sought to discuss opportunities for increased value creation within these sectors of the economy and how to support the development of new sectors in the future, how to improve utilization and reduce waste, as well as looking at the utilization of underutilized resources.
