A social vision is slowly emerging of the bioeconomy as an avenue towards sustainability. This paper presents a systematic review of the existing literature on the connection between gender (as a social dimension) and bioeconomy. We have reviewed 244 scientific publications which explicitly mention bioeconomy and gender/women in their title, abstract, keywords or text; 127 documents were identified as having high (19) or medium (108) gender-oriented centrality. The literature is fragmented but six cross-sectional key themes have been identified: Gender and social impacts of the bioeconomy; gender equality as a goal and a just policy; gender differences in perceptions, discourses and strategies relating to the bioeconomy; women as potential stakeholders and actors in the transition towards bioeconomy; frameworks, strategies, and tools to connect gender and the bioeconomy; and gender inequalities and geography. Moreover, they show hardly any connection with the three predominant social currents in the struggle for gender equality: grassroots social movements, ecofeminism, and intersectionality. The paper concludes by identifying key pathways for future research to address current gaps. We suggest integrating a feminist metatheoretical base with an integrative ontology, an epistemology that recognises its own partiality and situationality, and a methodology sensitive to the specificities of the contexts which are committed to the goal of transforming women's everyday contexts.

一种社会愿景正在慢慢出现，将生物经济作为实现可持续发展的途径。本文系统回顾了关于性别（作为社会维度）与生物经济之间联系的现有文献。我们审查了 244 篇在标题、摘要、关键词或文本中明确提及生物经济和性别/女性的科学出版物；127 份文件被确定为具有高度 (19) 或中等 (108) 的性别导向中心性。文献零散，但确定了六个横断面的关键主题： 生物经济的性别和社会影响；将性别平等作为一项目标和一项公正的政策；与生物经济有关的看法、话语和战略中的性别差异；妇女作为向生物经济过渡的潜在利益相关者和行为者；框架、策略、以及将性别与生物经济联系起来的工具；和性别不平等和地理。此外，它们与争取性别平等的三个主要社会潮流几乎没有任何联系：草根社会运动、生态女权主义和交叉性。本文最后确定了未来研究解决当前差距的关键途径。我们建议将女权主义元理论基础与综合本体论、承认其自身的偏颇性和情境性的认识论以及对致力于改变女性日常语境目标的语境特殊性敏感的方法论相结合。草根社会运动、生态女权主义和交叉性。本文最后确定了未来研究解决当前差距的关键途径。我们建议将女权主义元理论基础与综合本体论、承认其自身的偏颇性和情境性的认识论以及对致力于改变女性日常语境目标的语境特殊性敏感的方法论相结合。草根社会运动、生态女权主义和交叉性。本文最后确定了未来研究解决当前差距的关键途径。我们建议将女权主义元理论基础与综合本体论、承认其自身的偏颇性和情境性的认识论以及对致力于改变女性日常语境目标的语境特殊性敏感的方法论相结合。
