Armed conflict and bioeconomy: a new opportunity for Argentina

The article argues that the current conflict in the Middle East is reshaping the global energy, food, and technology landscape, creating a strategic opportunity for Argentina through the development of its bioeconomy. In this context, the country could leverage its abundant natural resources (biomass, land, water, and biodiversity) and technological capabilities to position itself as a key supplier of food, bioenergy, and new materials in a world seeking alternatives to fossil fuels. Furthermore, the convergence of biotechnology and artificial intelligence is driving a new, more sustainable production paradigm, where agriculture is transforming into an advanced industry. Thus, the war acts as a catalyst for this process, opening a window for Argentina to reorient its production structure and gain prominence in the new global economic order.
