The Bioeconomic Strategy of Romania in the

Context of a Major Global Crisis

Liviu-Mihail Marinescu1, Emanuel –Ștefan Marinescu2

Abstract: In the 21st century, priorities regarding the future of Plan et Earth will wear a completely different

mask. Mankind is becoming increasingly concerned in the preservation of natural resources for the

development of a new civilisation, with acknowledging the real possibilities of recovery regarding the

multifarious range of resources in use. We are discussing resources of strict survival such as water, air, access

to modern forms of energy, last but not least soil – all in order to preserve favourable environmental

conditions. Bioeconomic development and world consumption must quickly abandon the unwarranted, all-

encompassing levels of ambition concerning resources, and must contain only the levels of sufficiency.

(Brown, 2000, pp. 27-29). Bioeconomic development of the New Earth must be accepted by the future only

in terms of sustainable parameters – a harshly n ecessary attitude in Romania, consistent with worldwide

efforts. (Brown& Fischlowitz, 2002, pp. 19 -22). These major determinants will build a robust bioeconomy of

Romania – as an important element of security in case of a worldwide crisis.

1. The Bioeconomic Strategy of the European Union

The European Union has timely addressed the need for the balanced and sustainable development of

mankind, placing its efforts in a deserved place at the forefront of the bioeconomic world. It was in the

very sense stated above that the Strategy and the Action Plan were generated as programmatic

documents on sustainable development, connected to the forthcoming necessities of our civilization.

The reason behind generating the Strategy has been imposed by the fast pace in using natural

resources, which is specific to human development, and mankind’s current neceessity for comfort – all

at a rate that does exceed by far the natural regenerating possibilities of raw materials used.

First, Europe will need to change its vision and consumption policies, by formally establishing a

feasible option for anthropogenic pressures on the environment, to produce a new perspective on

production, consumption, processing, storage, recycling and disposal of resulted waste, so as to

facilitate the resumption of the complex natural cycle.

Therefore, the Europe 2020 Strategy states that efforts aimed at achieving a smart and balanced

economic growth within the states of the Old Continent stand for the zero priority. Thus, it in 2012 that

documents were issued by the European Union Commission under the title of “Innovation for a
