Bioeconomy: the science of life

Abstract

This issue of the magazine should have hosted all the contributions presented at the conference "The socio-economic impacts of ongoing environmental and climate changes" organized by the Department of Economics of the University of Perugia on 4 October in Terni for the Umbria Green Festival 2019. None of us could have imagined the tragedy that would soon affect the whole human race. Consequently, today, with the pandemic still in progress, the editorial staff considered it more appropriate to publish a serious reflection on the role that the Bioeconomy could be called upon to play in a context such as the current one.
