Biological Economies Working Group

Research Group Summary

Group of researchers formed to support and extend the work of the Biological Economies Research Project, which aims:
- to raise the visibility of social science as a means of understanding change in New Zealand’s biologically-based economic sectors (food and fibre production and associated industries)
- to develop this understanding theoretically in order to contribute to international debates about value chains, eco-verification, carbon miles, sustainability and climate change
