“…The Buenos Aires Grain Exchange and a small group of academics with backgrounds in the natural sciences and agricultural economics led the political and academic debate and translated bioeconomy into a beneficial strategy for the industrialisation of agriculture. The first Argentinean bioeconomy strategy documents were released during the Macri presidency (2015–2019) (Trigo et al, 2015a; Bisang and Trigo, 2017) and were based to a large extent on two documents prepared for the Buenos Aires Grain Exchange (Wierny et al, 2015; Trigo et al, 2015b), demonstrating close collaboration between the private sector and the Ministry of Agroindustry. According to the vision set out by this network, bioeconomy in Argentina is based on the already established agricultural products, and especially soybean and its by‐products, and the use of new agricultural technologies (Trigo et al, 2015a).…”

Bioeconomy is also presented as a way of crossing the perceived divide between agriculture and industry (Delvenne, 2017).…”

“…This growth opened the door for the development of new technologies resulting in a consolidated biorefinery sector and other bio‐based agricultural supplies. In addition, biotechnology plays an important role as Argentina is now the second largest producer of genetically modified (GM) organisms, after the United States, and practically all of the country's soy production uses genetically modified soybeans engineered to resist the broad‐spectrum herbicide glyphosate (Trigo et al, 2015b). Moreover, precision agriculture is being promoted as part of bioeconomy in Argentina.…”

The concept of bioeconomy is increasingly gaining attention in South America as a potential strategy to foster sustainability transitions. As bioeconomy development is intertwined with often contested questions of natural resource governance, it is important that the promotion of bioeconomy takes place in an inclusive manner. In three case studies from Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil we examine who takes up the concept, what interests are reflected in this and the implications for socio-environmental concerns. This points to two interrelated aspects which demonstrate variations in inclusiveness: the constellation of actors who drive bioeconomy visions, and the scope of issues covered.

El presente estudio se centró en identificar las brechas que existen en relación al conocimiento del cambio climático, sus impactos y oportunidades, así como identificar sus potencialidades y restricciones como una alternativa a la Bioeconomía. Se utilizó el método cualitativo, con la técnica de encuesta y cuestionarios. Se desarrolló un modelo de entrevistas, cuyo universo, tuvo por objeto la selección de tres tipos de poblaciones: Las Empresas Privadas, Instituciones de Educación Superior: Profesores y / o administradores y tomadores de decisiones de estas instituciones, las Instituciones Públicas y Organizaciones no Gubernamentales. Los resultados evidencia la necesidad de investigación y transferencia de tecnología. El sector privado otorga mayor prioridad a reducir costos e incrementar eficiencia, el aumento de la rentabilidad y retención de clientes en relación a responder eficazmente a las amenazas y oportunidades del cambio climático, lo que indica que existe una brecha de conocimientos en relación a los impactos y oportunidades que ofrece el cambio climático, mientras que en la docencia se observó que, existe una abundante formación de maestrías relacionadas con la temática medioambiental, sin embargo los cursos que se imparten en las universidades sobre cambio climático son muy escasos y no existe un programa nacional de formación de postgrados en cambio climático y sólo el 58% de los docentes entrevistados realizan tareas de investigación. En las instituciones públicas y ONG opinan que es baja la frecuencia de acceso a becas, la fuente de conocimientos sobre cambio climático muy frecuentemente utilizada por los docentes e investigadores es internet.
