Neoliberal Bio-Economies?

The book explores the interplay between market creation and environmental considerations in the bio-economy, which aims to replace fossil fuels with biological materials for energy and goods. Birch investigates the development of bio-economy strategies across various countries as potential solutions to climate change, particularly focusing on North America. He critically examines the underlying motivations, challenging the notion that neoliberalism solely drives these initiatives, while assessing the feasibility of achieving a low-carbon future through this economic model.
