- Exploring insights into the bioeconomy in strategic groupsPublication . Ribeiro, Maria Isabel; Tomazini, Cecília Eduarda Gnoatto; Perondi, Miguel Angelo; Fernandes, AntónioThe concept of Bioeconomy is associated with sustainable development changes both in production and consumption systems. For this reason, this research was carried out with the objective to describe the scientific production related to the different strategic groups’ perceptions about Bioeconomy and to group the existing literature into thematic clusters. Initially, in this bibliometric study, 67 articles were selected from the Scopus database based on the words “Bioeconomy” and “Perceptions”. Later, the VOSviewer software, version 1.6.18, was used to perform the bibliometric analysis. The results revealed the existence of four clusters. The first cluster included articles about Bioeconomy on the perspective of the timber strategic sector and of the different actors in the field of forestry action closest to the Bioeconomy field. The second cluster included articles related to the perception about Bioeconomy by Civil Society, in general, and higher education students, in particular, as well as their opinions on the importance of the forestry sector for the Bioeconomy. The third cluster comprised the articles that consider the Bioeconomy to be the innovative way to go to ensure the sustainability of the planet, therefore highlighting the importance of knowing the perceptions and raising awareness of all strategic groups to ensure the successful transition to the Bioeconomy. Finally, the fourth cluster included articles related to the consumer attitudes and behaviours regarding the acceptance of new biofood products resulting from the Circular Economy.
- Knowledge level and perceptions of brazilian university students about bioeconomyPublication . Tomazini, Cecília Eduarda Gnoatto; Perondi, Miguel Angelo; Fernandes, António; Ribeiro, Maria IsabelThrough the creation of clean and innovative technologies, Bioeconomics is a means of achieving sustainability. For this to happen, it needs to be incorporated into concrete social actions, gaining knowledge and social acceptance. In this sense, the main purpose of this study was to analyze the understanding and level of knowledge of Brazilian university students about Bioeconomy, understanding their expectations and the factors that explain their attitudes towards it. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis with the help of IBM SPSS Statistics software version 28. The survey recorded 220 responses, identifying that 53.2% of the respondents were familiar with the term Bioeconomy and 47.2% had a level of knowledge classified as good or very good. In addition, a correlation was identified between the knowledge area and the place of residence of the students and their level of knowledge, with different motivations for supporting Bioeconomy, with economic motivations prevailing over socio-environmental ones. Also, it was found that the level of knowledge and support for Bioeconomy are directly correlated, so the greater the knowledge, the greater the support for it. More, even those students who don't recognize the term Bioeconomy associate it with sustainability and the green economy. This study shows that there is a need to introduce topics related to Bioeconomy in universities and in Brazilians' daily lives.
- Stakeholders perceptions of bioeconomy: a bibliometric analysisPublication . Ribeiro, Maria Isabel; Tomazini, Cecília Eduarda Gnoatto; Perondi, Miguel Angelo; Fernandes, AntónioThe Bioeconomy, in addition to being considered a means to achieve industrial competitiveness, offers new approaches to deal with future challenges, replacing fossil fuels with sustainable and renewable fuels and resources. A bibliometric study was carried out to describe the scientific production related to stakeholders’ perceptions about Bioeconomy and to group the existing literature into thematic clusters. 67 articles were selected from the Scopus database based on the words “Bioeconomy” and “Perceptions”. The VOSviewer software, version 1.6.18 was used to perform the bibliometric analysis. Four clusters were identified. The first cluster comprised the articles referring to the perceptions about the Bioeconomy of the timber sector stakeholders and of the different actors in the field of forestry action closest to the Bioeconomy area. The second cluster included articles related to the stakeholders’ perception of the Bioeconomy, namely, Civil Society in general and higher education students in particular, as well as their opinions on the importance of the forestry sector for the Bioeconomy. The third cluster comprised the articles that consider the Bioeconomy to be the innovative way to go to ensure the sustainability of the planet, therefore highlighting the importance of knowing the perceptions and raising awareness of all stakeholders to ensure the successful transition to the Bioeconomy. Finally, the fourth cluster included articles related to the perception of the Bioeconomy, consumer attitudes and behaviours regarding the acceptance of new biofood products resulting from the Circular Economy.
