This document provides guidance to policymakers on how to monitor the sustainability of the bioeconomy in their country or within a macro-region, such as the European Union (EU). In any geographical context, the bioeconomy encompasses the primary production sectors (crop and livestock production, forestry, fisheries and aquaculture) and the ecosystems that supply the primary materials and services to these sectors. It also comprises secondary production sectors, such as food manufacturing and processing industries; and tertiary (service) sectors, such as research and innovation, the retail sector, the food service industry, and waste management. The exact composition of the bioeconomy depends on the context of each country or macro-region. This guidance note describes a series of general steps for designing and implementing a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system to assess the sustainability of the bioeconomy in a country or macro-region.
