Re-imagining bioeconomy for Amazonia

This technical report examines how the concept of bioeconomy is conceived in the eight Amazonian countries: Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. It is based on a literature review, expert interviews, and a two-stage survey designed to assess stakeholder engagement with bioeconomy. The study confirms that bioeconomy activities across Amazonian countries currently conform to at least five basic principles, including the use of biological resources and processes, the integration of science, technology, and innovation, and the inclusion of ancestral and traditional knowledge. The report maps the epistemic community working on bioeconomy in the region and considers the multiple definitions and their distinct priorities and implications. Finally, it offers recommendations for further actions that promote cross-sector collaboration and regional cooperation to leverage bioeconomy opportunities.

Policy brief: Safeguarding the TR4 Region

The policy brief urges policymakers and public officials to take proactive measures to prevent the entry of TR4 and protect the banana and plantain industry in producing and exporting countries in the region. The creation of a Technical Working Group by the Caribbean Plant Health Directors (CPHD TWG-Musa Species) is highlighted, which acts as an emergency mechanism to lead and coordinate actions at the regional and international level. The group works to strengthen biosecurity at ports, increase national surveillance, and train farmers and customs officials in biosecurity measures. Additionally, it focuses on research into TR4-tolerant or resistant varieties and establishing capabilities for the safe introduction of certified TR4-resistant germplasm.
