Many people now understand that the future resources needed to sustain and grow our societies and economies must be renewable and grown from biological sources.
\nThis will move us away from our reliance on fossil fuels and its negative impacts on climate change and the natural environments and may transition us to a more equitable society.
\nBut how will this need be met?
\nHow can the products that we depend on so much be grown from biological resources?
\nThe proverb
\n\u201cNecessity is the mother of invention\u201d
\nidentifies necessity as key to driving the spirit of innovation.
\nThis spirit of innovation, will be seen in the replacement of products such as plastics with bioplastics, chemical fertilisers with bio-fertilisers, petroleum and diesel with biofuels.
\nIt will be seen in the manufacturing processes for pharmaceuticals being made from biological instead of chemical steps, energy being supplied from renewable sources instead of fossil fuels, and raw materials being replenished by recycled or reconfigured wastes.
\nNew technologies will be used in IT, automation and big Data to speed up product design and manage resources in a smart, precise way.
\nSocietal innovations will include community generation of biomass, local energy grids, eco-villages and city agriculture.
\nPolitical innovations will see the operation of open governance structures to ensure that biomass resources are being shared equally and that policies on food security, climate action and environmental protection are implemented.
\nIn this course we will look at how innovation in biotechnology and bioconversion will be used to drive the bioeconomy.<\/p>\n
