ANALYSIS OF BIOECONOMY ASPECTS IN AGRICULTURE AND BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES WITHIN AN INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT

Abstract

The objective of this research was to identify key aspects of the bioeconomy by examining multiple international studies, particularly in the areas of agriculture and biological sciences from 2008 to 2023. A bibliographic source analysis was conducted using Bibliometrix tools from R Studio and VOSviewer to analyze a database extracted from Scopus. During this period, the bioeconomy experienced significant growth in published research and its increasing relevance to the global scientific community. The number of citations and articles reflects the impact of bioeconomy research in academia, with countries such as Finland, Germany, and Italy standing out for their publication volume. The study identified three main categories defining current trends in the bioeconomy: sustainable development; forestry and production; and innovation, biomass, and biotechnology. There is a global pursuit of an environmentally friendly economic model. Therefore, the identified areas can inform future research and contribute to the development of public policies for specific contexts and the advancement of the bioeconomy.
