Participants will gain insights into the potential of single-cell protein production from agricultural by-products, the socioeconomic impacts of agricultural systems and policies, and the effects of climate change on crop performance and food production.
Together, these perspectives highlight the opportunities and challenges involved in transforming agriculture to support a sustainable bioeconomy.

The Global Bioeconomy Alliance is pleased to announce that it will be hosting the first webinar in the new series on "Interdisciplinary Perspectives on the Bioeconomy". This follows on from the Alliance's ongoing efforts to foster international dialogue and collaboration on sustainable and inclusive bioeconomy development.
As countries and regions worldwide seek pathways towards a bioeconomy that addresses climate change, biodiversity loss, and social inequalities, interdisciplinary perspectives are essential. This webinar brings together insights from marine science, agricultural systems, and social and environmental justice to explore how scientific innovation can translate into real‑world impact.
It will open with a welcome address by Cristina Chuck (Tecnológico de Monterrey), followed by expert contributions from leading researchers across three continents:
Dr. Zeinab Khalil, University of Queensland; Prof. Iain Hartley, University of Exeter; Dr. Sthembile Ndwandwe, University of Cape Town
