Abstrakt
Current issue of bioeconomy development has been largely addressed on a linear or
interdisciplinary level, however holistic view of bioeconomy requires a transdisciplinary system
analysis. Developed methodology clarifies vision on bioeconomy definition, bioeconomy
disciplines and disciplinary definition in context of nexus interlinkage, in the result concept of
transdisciplinary approach connection to bioeconomy is determined as processes for sustainable
bioeconomy, that not only replace fossil resources with biobased resources, but strengthens
different disciplines, taken into account interlinkages, knowledge, and stakeholders and
limitations set by planetary boundaries, different dimensions should be included in transition
towards sustainable bioeconomy. Methodology bases on critical literature analysis. Different
bioeconomy disciplines are defined and the obtained results are represented graphically. The
obtained results can be used for further research as a transdisciplinarity basis of the bioeconomy,
studying specific systems, factors influencing them and evaluating potential scenarios and their
impacting tools. Results from implementing holistic vision would provide practical benefit to
policy makers and industry actors by providing an analysis how to improve industrial practice,
policy and how more effectively transfer to sustainable bioeconomy.
