Abstract

This article explores the role of "the human factor" in the achievement of the full potential of the bioeconomy. It examines in particular the role of social and institutional factors (norms, networks, contractual arrangements, public policies). Three main classes of factors are discussed: the hindering or fostering impact of social values, organizational shifts implied by the development of the bioeconomy, and interactions inside territorial systems. A particular focus is then made on the forest and wood sector, in which all these factors are particularly important. We then suggest some policy implications in order to maximize the beneficial impact of the bioeconomy.
