The European Commission wants to boost nature-based products in a bid to develop a fossil-free economy by 2040, according to its latest bioeconomy strategy, which prioritises plant-based food, natural medicines, energy from crops and trees, and even natural construction materials.
The strategy of bio-based solutions could lead to more sustainable societies and economies, as their byproducts could be biodegradable or compostable, slowly disintegrating until fully decomposed.
