Diversification
We consider diversity to be an essential prerequisite for a circular bioeconomy.
In both natural and economic systems, diversity promotes flexibility, adaptation, optimisation of functions and resilience. This is because a variety of products, processes, actors and co-operations can close cycles if the output of one process or actor becomes the input of another process/actor.
For a circular bioeconomy, we also consider cross-sector diversification to be particularly necessary.
What we are planning:
- We are expanding the range of crops and livestock.
- We are testing new cultivation systems.
- We are increasing diversity by developing new processes and products.
- We are protecting biodiversity.
