Bioeconomy can be seen as a knowledge-based production and use of natural/biological resources, together with biological processes and laws, that allow providing economy goods and services in an environmentally-friendly way. Bioeconomy comprises those parts of the economy that use renewable biological resources from land and sea – such as crops, forest, fish, animals, and micro-organisms – to produce food, materials and energy.

Many of the products Canadians use on a daily basis—plastic bottles, paint, diapers, cosmetics, electricity and fuels—can all be made from the wastes and residues (biomass) left over from the forestry, marine, and agricultural sectors. Canada produces more than 48 million tons of such sustainable biomass every year and stands to capitalize on many of these emerging markets, as well as diversify existing markets for agricultural and forestry companies.

Indigenous Forest Bioeconomy Program
Land is a fundamental asset for sustainable economic development. Land is beyond just an economic asset for Indigenous peoples, it provides sustenance for current and future generations; it is connected to spiritual beliefs, traditional knowledge and teachings; it is fundamental to cultural reproduction; moreover, commonly held land rights reinforce nationhood.
In 2001 Thomas Homer-Dixon asks the straightforward question, "Can we solve the problems of the future?" In his best seller "The Ingenuity Gap" he ponders the complex set of scientific, health, environmental, ethical and public policy questions before us. These questions are important at every level of decision making.

"Participation is a responsibility; we must learn our way through society's problems in order to create a tomorrow for our grandchildren - for the Seven Generations as described by the Haudensaunee."
