Today’s increasing demands for food, feed, products and energy, in conjunction with the security concerns brought about by a growing global population and anthropogenically induced climate change, are making the need for a sustainable system more pressing than ever. In this context, to reflect the need for a comprehensive societal transformation, the bio-based or knowledge-based economy is targeting a reduction in the present dependency on fossil fuels along with other forms of finite resources through their gradual replacement by renewables. However, while the objectives of such a major system change are mainly agreed upon, the pathway to achieving them is still a subject of dispute. Having the purpose of engaging in the debate, and attempting to lay the keystones for shaping the future, this book, Bioeconomy, explores and conveys the advantages of a sustainable, innovative and knowledgebased bioeconomy from an interand transdisciplinary perspective. Its aim is to advance the existing knowledge and to pioneer national as much as international cooperation in the field. The book’s editor, Iris Lewandowski, is known for her involvement in national and EU-funded bioeconomy research projects. One of these is called “Accelerating the transition towards a BioBased Economy via Education – ABBEE” which was initiated as of September 1, 2018 with the objective of creating new educational materials for students and professionals that incorporate the key elements of a biobased economy. Currently, the author is affiliated with the University of Hohenheim, where she is the Chief Bioeconomy Officer, and is also responsible for an international master’s program on Bioeconomy. Taking these facts into consideration, and framing them in the form of a textbook, this joint venture of the University of Hohenheim’s educators and students has resulted in Bioeconomy, which

生物经济：塑造向可持续的生物基经济的过渡，由 Iris Lewandowski 编辑（Springer，2018 年）

当今对食品、饲料、产品和能源日益增长的需求，加上全球人口不断增长和人为引起的气候变化带来的安全问题，使得对可持续系统的需求比以往任何时候都更加紧迫。在这种情况下，为了反映全面社会转型的需要，生物经济或知识经济的目标是通过逐步被可再生能源替代，减少目前对化石燃料以及其他形式的有限资源的依赖。然而，尽管如此重大的制度变革的目标已基本达成一致，但实现这些目标的途径仍然存在争议。本着参与辩论的目的，并试图为塑造未来奠定基石，这本书，生物经济，从跨学科的角度探索和传达可持续、创新和知识型生物经济的优势。其目标是推进现有知识，并在该领域开拓国内和国际合作。该书的编辑 Iris Lewandowski 以参与国家和欧盟资助的生物经济研究项目而闻名。其中之一被称为“通过教育加速向生物基经济过渡——ABBEE”，它于 2018 年 9 月 1 日启动，目的是为学生和专业人士创建包含生物基经济关键要素的新教育材料。目前，作者隶属于霍恩海姆大学，担任首席生物经济官，并负责国际生物经济硕士课程。考虑到这些事实，并以教科书的形式将它们构建起来，霍恩海姆大学的教育工作者和学生的这个合资企业产生了生物经济，
