Can the oil-based market economy be replaced by one based on renewable resources? According to science, politics and industry, the bioeconomy is a sustainable alternative. What is behind these hopeful promises? The bioeconomy is set to solve the major problems of our time: climate change, species extinction, pesticides, depleted soils. According to its concept, plants, fungi and insects can replace the highly polluting coal and oil as raw materials. It would also be possible to produce chemicals from microorganisms. But renewable resources must also be produced – and this also harbors new potential dangers: the exploitation of green areas, the destruction of the last remaining natural ecosystems and an even more extensive economization of nature. This documentary takes into account the entire economic cycle: from biomass production through processing to finished products. #dwdocumentary #documentary ـــــ DW Documentary brings you information beyond the headlines.
