Summary

This 2023 perspective article from a multidisciplinary French research team examines how agroecological and bioeconomy paradigms might be integrated to address sustainability challenges in agriculture. Rather than presenting primary empirical evidence, the work contributes to systems-level discourse by exploring theoretical frameworks through which productivity, environmental stewardship, and regulatory compliance could be reconciled. The paper is positioned to inform policy dialogue and systems thinking on agricultural transition.

UK applicability

The frameworks examined may inform UK agricultural policy and transition strategy, particularly given alignment with domestic sustainability goals and European regulatory influences. However, direct applicability depends on the extent to which the paper addresses UK-specific agroecological contexts, commodity chains, and regulatory environments—details not evident from title alone.

Key measures

Not applicable; this is a perspective paper without primary metrics

Outcomes reported

The paper does not report empirical measurements but rather explores theoretical integration of agroecological and bioeconomy paradigms. The work synthesises conceptual frameworks to identify how productivity, environmental stewardship, and regulatory compliance might be reconciled within agricultural systems.
