The bio-economy is an economic system characterized by the use of plants and other biological materials rather than fossil fuels to produce energy, chemicals, and societal goods. Over the last decade or so, numerous countries around the world have developed bio-economy strategies as a potential transition pathway to a low-carbon future. Whether this is achievable or not remains an open question, one which this book seeks to answer. In addressing this question, Kean Birch draws on over ten years of research on the bio-economy around the world, but especially in North America. He examines what kinds of markets and natures are being imagined and constructed in the pursuit of the bio-economy, and problematizes the idea that this is being driven by neoliberalism and the neoliberalization of nature(s).--$$cProvided by publisher. 000940377 650_0 $$aSocial sciences. 000940377 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783319914237 000940377 852__ $$bebk 000940377 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-91424-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000940377 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:940377$$pGLOBAL_SET 000940377 980__ $$aEBOOK 000940377 980__ $$aBIB 000940377 982__ $$aEbook 000940377 983__ $$aOnline 000940377 994__ $$a92$$bISE
