BIT - Bioeconomy in Italy - A unique opportunity to reconnect the Economy, Society and Environment.

BIT - Bioeconomy in Italy - A unique opportunity to reconnect the Economy, Society and Environment (2019-2030) is a Strategy that aims at interconnecting the main bioeconomy sectors, creating longer, more sustainable and locally routed value chains. Strategy's general objective is to increase current Italian bioeconomy turnover and jobs by 20% by 2030, while increasing the level of circularity in the economy.
The general objective will be achieved by: 1) Improving the sustainable production and quality of products in each of the sectors and interconnecting and leveraging the sectors more efficiently; allowing an effective valorization of national terrestrial/marine biodiversity, ecosystem services and circularity by creating longer and more locally routed value chains, where the actions of public and private stakeholders integrate across the board at the regional, national and EU level; regenerating abandoned/marginal lands and former industrial sites; and by 2) Creating more investments in R&I, spin offs/ start-ups, education, training, and communication; better coordination between regional, national and EU stakeholders/policies; better engagement with the public; and tailored market development actions. The strategy also includes actions addressed to promote the bioeconomy in the Mediterranean area.
