Environmental crises, which are consequences of resource-intensive lifestyles and are characterized to a large extent by both a changing climate and a loss of biodiversity, stress the urgent need for a global social-ecological transformation of the agro-food system. In this regard, the bioeconomy and bioeconomic innovations have frequently been seen as instrumental in addressing these grand challenges and contributing to more sustainable land use. To date, the question of how much bioeconomic innovations contribute to sustainability objectives remains unanswered. Against this background, we study four bioeconomic innovations using the case study of animal production and manure utilization in relation to their potential contributions to a social-ecological transformation. The analysis is based on the application of analytical categories derived from the literature that assess the normativity of these innovations and their implicit cultural changes. The results show that the innovations examined manifest existing thought styles and the incumbent socio-technical regime rather than contribute to a more fundamental transition. In this respect, we stress the importance of evolving alterative ideas in innovation design, applying more integrative approaches, such as embedding innovation processes into transdisciplinary processes, and developing adaptive and reflective governance approaches. In return, bioeconomic innovations should adjust towards the design mission of a social-ecological transformation and include a multitude of actors to discuss and harmonize contesting imaginaries and ethical concerns.

生物经济创新促进社会生态转型的潜力:畜牧系统案例研究

环境危机是资源密集型生活方式的后果,在很大程度上以气候变化和生物多样性丧失为特征,强调迫切需要对农业食品系统进行全球社会生态转型。在这方面,生物经济和生物经济创新经常被视为有助于应对这些重大挑战和促进更可持续的土地利用。迄今为止,生物经济创新对可持续性目标有多大贡献的问题仍未得到解答。在此背景下,我们使用动物生产和粪便利用的案例研究来研究四种生物经济创新,以及它们对社会生态转型的潜在贡献。该分析基于对评估这些创新的规范性及其隐含的文化变化的文献中衍生的分析类别的应用。结果表明,所审查的创新体现了现有的思维方式和现有的社会技术体制,而不是促成更根本的转变。在这方面,我们强调在创新设计中不断发展替代思想的重要性,应用更多整合方法,例如将创新过程嵌入跨学科过程,以及开发适应性和反思性治理方法。作为回报,生物经济创新应该适应社会生态转型的设计使命,并包括众多参与者来讨论和协调有争议的想象和伦理问题。结果表明,所审查的创新体现了现有的思维方式和现有的社会技术体制,而不是促成更根本的转变。在这方面,我们强调在创新设计中不断发展替代思想的重要性,应用更多整合方法,例如将创新过程嵌入跨学科过程,以及开发适应性和反思性治理方法。作为回报,生物经济创新应该适应社会生态转型的设计使命,并包括众多参与者来讨论和协调有争议的想象和伦理问题。结果表明,所审查的创新体现了现有的思维方式和现有的社会技术体制,而不是促成更根本的转变。在这方面,我们强调在创新设计中不断发展替代思想的重要性,应用更多整合方法,例如将创新过程嵌入跨学科过程,以及开发适应性和反思性治理方法。作为回报,生物经济创新应该适应社会生态转型的设计使命,并包括众多参与者来讨论和协调有争议的想象和伦理问题。我们强调在创新设计中不断发展替代思想的重要性,应用更多综合方法,例如将创新过程嵌入跨学科过程,以及开发适应性和反思性治理方法。作为回报,生物经济创新应该适应社会生态转型的设计使命,并包括众多参与者来讨论和协调有争议的想象和伦理问题。我们强调在创新设计中不断发展替代思想的重要性,应用更多综合方法,例如将创新过程嵌入跨学科过程,以及开发适应性和反思性治理方法。作为回报,生物经济创新应该适应社会生态转型的设计使命,并包括众多参与者来讨论和协调有争议的想象和伦理问题。
