The challenges of food security, biodiversity conservation, climate change and the need to adapt to it, the preservation of local food systems and the strong interdependence between rural and urban areas create new opportunities for science and the need for innovation. Similar opportunities are contained in the fundamentally new strategic decisions at the level of institutions, in the new forms of interaction with local conditions, new production practices and the resulting social benefits, targeted research and knowledge transfer, as well as social, environmental and economic innovations. The Master's program in BIOECONOMICS AND ECO-ENTREPRENEURSHIP is aimed at providing training and theoretical knowledge, practical and analytical skills for assessment and development of sustainable bio-based industries. The program is a balanced combination of theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of bioeconomics, but at the same time combines methods by which we empower the student as an active participant in real economic life. The bioeconomy offers an opportunity to increase the potential of agricultural production to generate added value and stimulate economic development, while ensuring relationships throughout the food chain. The developed material offers a basis for in-depth research, training, analysis and evaluation on the following key issues: Strengthening and scaling up bio-based sectors, unlocking investments and markets; Opportunities for development of local bioeconomies; Ecological boundaries of the bioeconomy.
