Sustainability in Latin America: A Bioeconomic Approach

Pérez, Sergio Gabriel Ceballos; González, Carlos Alberto Zuniga; Jurado, Alejandro Téllez; Mercado Flores, Yuridia

Sustainability in Latin America: A Bioeconomic Approach explores the bioeconomy through theories, methodologies, and case studies rooted in specific contexts across Latin America. Rather than attempting to compile or generalize a singular vision of a Latin American bioeconomy, it highlights diverse experiences that reflect the region’s complexity. By its very nature, the bioeconomy is both multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary. Accordingly, the book features contributions from various fields, offering a rich, multifaceted understanding of bioeconomic practices. For instance, Chapter 1 revisits Georgescu-Roegen’s theory through a fresh lens, enriched by new multidisciplinary insights into territorial and sociocultural dynamics. This approach opens up possibilities for rethinking consumption patterns, fostering sustainable technologies, and strengthening community development.
