| Description | Canada is well-positioned to seize opportunities in the emerging bioeconomy because of its global leadership in forestry and agriculture, access to biomass, and skilled workforce. The Bachelor of Science in Forest Bioeconomy Sciences and Technology (BEST) is the country's first comprehensive program focused on the growing bioeconomy.
Bioeconomy refers to the parts of the economy that involve the production of renewable biological resources (e.g., wood, plants, wood waste, and organic waste) that are transformed into valuable products (e.g., biofuels, bioplastics, textiles, food additives, and medicine). | | |
