“…La población va creciendo exponencialmente y los recursos renovables se van agotando e incrementando su demanda (bienes y servicios). Resolver la crisis ambiental a través de una transición bioeconómica está cobrando impulso (Allain et al, 2022). Mohammadian (2005), reflexionó sobre un nuevo paradigma socioeconómico para el siglo XXI, destacando la necesidad de dilucidar el interface de los conflicto entre el sistema biológico y el socioeconómico.…”

La presente investigación se centró en estudiar (“logos”) los fundamentos y métodos del conocimiento (“episteme”) científico de la Bioeconomía. Se utilizó la metodología del enfoque epistemológico que explora la coherencia interna de los razonamientos que llevan a la creación de conocimiento, la utilidad de sus metodologías teniendo en cuenta sus objetivos, los contextos históricos en los que aparecieron esas segmentos de discernimiento y el modo en el que influyeron en su elaboración, y las limitaciones y utilidades de ciertas formas de investigación y de ciertos conceptos, entre otras cosas. Los resultados de la revisión literaria evidencian que el la biomasa residual (microbiana, vegetal o animal) de una potencial reconfiguración tecnológica de la bioeconomía que está cristianizando la investigación, la innovación y la tecnología. En esta transformación la academia juega un rol fundamental con sus investigadores, técnicos, especialistas en laboratorios que de manera innovadora (exosomática) utilizan la biomasa residual para generar productos y servicios amigables con el medio ambiente, manteniendo la eficiencia intacta con un producto útil socialmente (entropía baja).

“…The first term that the literature mentions as the predecessor of the bioeconomy is bioeconomics. First used in the 1960s (Birner, 2018) to define the existence of a source of biological knowledge in almost all economic processes, the concept was later analysed in more detail by Georgescu-Roegen, who associated it with the integration of physical and biological sciences into economics (Georgescu-Roegen, 2011;Bonaiuti, 2011;Bonaiuti, 2014;Bonaiuti, 2015;Allain et al, 2022).…”

Environmental well-being has recently been put at risk due to unsustainable industrial practices. The relevant decision-makers have developed policies to support a greener approach in the economy. This paper aims to present a complete and comprehensive connection between the key concepts of the economy based on biological resources from both empirical and analytical perspectives by highlighting the structure, importance, and evolution. Through bibliometric research and network mapping analysis, we have revealed the most popular concept among researchers and countries, and the current trend for each term considered. Currently, there is no comparative study on the linkage between bioeconomy, circular economy, knowledgebased economy, bio-based economy, green economy, and bioeconomics, but only taken as separate concepts, thus being difficult to assess the significance and popularity of a term over another and to track the evolution over time. Our results are meant to cover the gap around the interconnected terms in bioeconomy and to enhance the current conceptual frameworks.

“…The spatial or geographical scale refers to the definition of system boundary for WEF Nexus, i.e., the geographic level of applicability for the nexus, from a small-scale household or individual to a global scale (Garcia et al, 2019;Abulibdeh and Zaidan, 2020;Sharma et al, 2021a;Jain et al, 2021;Allain et al, 2022). Each scale has its supply chain of water, energy, and food; each scale is connected to others (Putra et al, 2020).…”

The Water-Energy-Food (WEF) Nexus significantly and effectively address sustainability issues internationally. However, there has been little attention paid to the WEF Nexus challenges related to sustainable livelihoods, such as resource access, resource security, and resource utilization. Given the need to establish design research, policy formulation, and resource management based on end-user needs, new research hypotheses and available models must be proposed on a small-scale scale of households and communities. This paper combines the Sustainable Product-Service System (SPSS) and Distributed Economies (DE), two prospective and intertwined models combining environmental, social, and economic sustainability with the WEF Nexus approach, to emphasize the shift to small-scale and highly localized WEF systems and the product and service system based on the satisfaction unit, i.e., designing SPSS applied to Distributed WEF Nexus. This paradigm shift is presented and detailed in an 11-dimensional canvas with an analytical, conceptual research approach to help to define and analyze the characteristics of existing solutions and promote innovative ideas or scenarios in a sustainable WEF nexus. The new 11-dimensional canvas tool, in particular, is thought to have the potential to become a basic research analysis and innovative strategic tool in this field after being tested and evaluated by forty companies, experts, and designers in China and Italy. Finally, despite considerable implementation obstacles, this innovative application of multi-mode integration still has the potential for win-win sustainability, to meet human needs for clean water, safe energy, and sufficient food, ultimately accelerating the transition to a sustainable society.
