Learning outcomes
|
Students will gain knowledge about a new economic branch that will enable them to respond to future demands of the economy, such as a new type of business and regional development. Within EU bioeconomy firstly appeared in the European Bioeconomy Strategy in 2012. This Strategy is based on the use of biological resources (agricultural, forestry, fisheries, food and organic components of communalwastes) to replace non-renewable raw materials such as coal and oil. Bioeconomy represents a combination of a new theory and practice, especially knowledge of economics and biotechnology, which allows a multidisciplinary approach to solving economic problems. Bioeconomy represents a new alternative for development of local economy in rural regions, where it is possible to use biological resources in a new way. The course will focus mainly on the use of waste as a new source for new technological practices, thus continuing the principles of circular economics. Strategy focused on circular economy is developed at the Ministry of the Environment and will be approved by the Czech Republic from 2021. Students will also try to suggest practical bioeconomic solutions applicable within chosen region. Part of the course are excursions to bioeconomic entrepreneurs in the Czech Republic.
