| The challenges facing the 21st century presented by a growing global population range from food security to sustainable energy supplies to the diminishing availability of fossil raw materials. An attempt to solve these problems is made by using the concept of bioeconomy. Plants in particular possess an important function in this context - they can be used either as a source of food or in the form of biomass for industrial or energy purposes. Linking industrial and agricultural research and production bioeconomy provides growth potential in particular in rural areas. The aim of this article is therefore to outline the status of plant-based bioeconomy in three states of Central Germany - Saxony Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia - and to compare this to German plant-based bioeconomy. We take an in-depth look at the different sectors and outline the industries involved the location and age of the enterprises as well as the distribution of important NACE codes. In conclusion we highlight the significant number of new or small enterprises and the high research and innovation rate of Central Germany. We also stress the future potential of Central German plant-based bioeconomy as well as the importance of a more plant-focused view of the technology sector. |
