“…While in the concept of a green economy, social concerns are implemented, political bioeconomy strategies are more focused on economic growth and job creation (Scarlat et al 2015 ; UNEP 2011 ). While bioeconomy is considered to produce many opportunities, there are studies pointing at the gap between bioeconomy and sustainable development goals (SDG) caused mainly by oversimplification of bioeconomy conceptualization (Siegner et al 2017 ). Incautious bioeconomy transformation may cause the rise of conflicts between some SDG, such as conflicting needs for food and bioenergy production, which leads to biodiversity loss, land use change, deforestation, etc.…”

There is a need for societal transformation towards bioeconomy, which promotes the replacement of non-renewable natural resources with renewable ones. Slovakia has considerable potential for bioeconomy development, yet this potential remains untapped. This article evaluates the public perception regarding the individual properties of renewable and non-renewable materials and their relation to the potential for bioeconomy development in Slovakia. It is found that Slovak consumers prefer natural renewable materials, regardless of other influencing factors, and realise the need for transformation towards a more sustainable economy.

“…This innovation model can contribute to put environmental protection at the core of knowledge production activities. In addition, it could serve to the imperative of incorporating stakeholders' multiple value perspectives, conditions and needs (e.g., conservation strategies, ecological boundaries, smallholder farmer inclusiveness, provision of livelihood options, and intrinsic value of native plants for local communities in terms of food, feed, and energy self-sufficiency) for responsible and inclusive research and innovation on acrocomia [36,108,143,144,[159][160][161].…”

The diversification of biomass resources is key to the transition towards a bioeconomy. Acrocomia spp., a neotropical genus of palms, is an example of plants’ diversity potential for a sustainable bioeconomy. Acrocomia’s adaptability to environments outside rainforests, its specific fruit properties and high yields has generated the interest of researchers and entrepreneurs, triggering its introduction as a multipurpose oil crop. Developing sustainability-oriented and knowledge-based acrocomia value webs requires a collaborative, systems approach from the outset. Fostering an inter- and transdisciplinary dialogue on acrocomia through a participatory workshop with both academic and non-academic actors contributed to this endeavor. This allowed the identification of priorities, knowledge gaps, and stakeholder roles, and served as the basis for the co-creation of a research and development roadmap. Key steps for the introduction of acrocomia include intertwined technical aspects relating to the development of planting material, cultivation systems, processing technologies and applications, market entry, and value web governance aspects. A broad collaboration among scientists, the public and private sectors, farmers, and civil society, is required for the development of acrocomia value webs. The incorporation of sustainability and a consideration of context in the design and development phases are fundamental to fostering the sustainable performance of acrocomia value webs.
