The state government also aims to develop a future programme for the bioeconomy that supports the economy in the use of renewable, sustainable raw materials and identifies viable alternatives to fossil resources.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the cabinet has decided to publish key points for a bioeconomy strategy for NRW and to establish an interministerial working group on the bioeconomy.
