abstract = {Bioeconomy is deemed to be an ambiguous term with multiple
facets: new products from biomass, circular and cascading
resource systems, developments of new and more resilient
plants, or synthetic biology for molecular biotechnology, to
name a few. Accordingly, the term is interpreted just as
diversely by involved stakeholders and the broader public.
Enabling a clear and constructive dialog on bioeconomy
strategies with and among society requires a profound
understanding of these perceptions. To address this issue, a
representative survey was conducted among the German
population in order to scrutinize the general public's
understanding of the term bioeconomy, citizens’ knowledge,
fears, and expectations, as well as factors explaining their
attitudes toward the bioeconomy. Our results indicate that,
so far, German citizens are not very familiar with the
concept. Its underlying ideas, however, are vastly
appreciated. Support for a sustainable bioeconomy is thus
strong and connected to high expectations in terms of
environmental and economic benefits, which needs to be taken
into account both in the implementation and communication of
bioeconomy strategies. Support for the bioeconomy is
furthermore connected to beliefs that reflect environmental
concern and to pro-environmental behavior. While most
measures and principles related to the bioeconomy (e.g., the
use of biogas, biofuels, renewable materials for everyday
products or buildings, or the cascading and circular use of
resources) are strongly appreciated, the use of genetic
engineering, for example, is opposed, mainly with regard to
its applications in agriculture and industry, to a lesser
extent in medicine.},
