In October 2018, the European Commission launched the updated European Bioeconomy Strategy, seeking to address the challenges of living in a world of limited
resources and global challenges, such as climate change.  The new strategy seeks ways of keeping Europe competitive in a global economy, while respecting the ecological boundaries of our planet and helping our societies to prosper.   

On 28 February 2019, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) will hold a
public meeting to gather the views of civil society on how the updated Bioeconomy Strategy can be put into practice.  Two themes will be covered – the first on how to find and implement opportunities in a sustainable manner, looking to the forestry and food sectors for inspiration.  The second theme will explore how to overcome the
obstacles of access to finance and how to stimulate markets.
