Global agriculture is shifting: "Farm to Fork" becomes "Farm to X". As industry, construction, and energy move away from fossil resources, demand for bio-based materials grows. At the same time, food security and climate resilience remain critical. The Nexus Bioeconomy event will explore how to meet rising demand, boost biological production, and use resources more efficiently. Together, we’ll develop practical, collaborative solutions for the bioeconomy transition.
