2025: Socio-economics and Business Transformation in Tropical Bioresources

"Socio-economics and Business Transformation in Tropical Bioresources" explores the intersection of sustainable development, social well-being, and economic innovation in managing tropical biological resources. This subtheme highlights the essential role of tropical bioresources in supporting local economies, providing livelihoods, and enhancing food security through sectors such as agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and ecotourism.

It emphasizes the need for inclusive and equitable management of these resources, addressing challenges such as deforestation, climate change, and land degradation. The transformation of business models in this context involves promoting sustainable practices, ethical value chains, and community-based enterprises that balance economic growth with environmental integrity.

Innovation and entrepreneurship are also central to this subtheme, encouraging the development of bio-based products and services by combining traditional knowledge with modern science. These efforts aim to empower local communities, foster social justice, and create resilient economies rooted in the rich biodiversity of tropical regions.

By promoting participatory approaches and collaboration among stakeholders, this subtheme seeks to ensure that tropical bioresources are managed sustainably and contribute to long-term, inclusive development.
