A series of online events and activities will take place throughout the week

Minister of State Martin Heydon says the opportunity to reformulate the Irish economy and the bioeconomy provides opportunities to rebuild and restructure the country's primary producers

Ireland's bioeconomy will come under the spotlight through a series of online events and activities for 'Bioeconomy Ireland Week 2020’ that runs until Friday.

The bioeconomy uses renewable biological resources sourced sustainably from land and sea such as crops, forestry, fisheries, aquaculture, micro-organisms and animals, and converts these resources and their processing by-products into value-added bio-based products including proteins, feeds, fertilizers, plastics and energy.
