Abstract
Europe needs to radically change it way of producing, consuming, transforming, storing, recycling and disposing of biological resources to cope with global population growth, resource depletion, increasing pressure on the environment and climate change. The Europe 2030 strategy proposes the bioeconomy as a key element for smart and green growth. Advances in bioeconomy research and the uptake of innovation will improve the management of renewable biological resources and open up new and diversified markets for food and bioproducts.
Following this strategy, Dcoop, Andalusian Cooperative Society, is developing its activity. Sustainability in the agrifood sector is one of Dcoop's priority objectives, and to achieve this it has implemented sustainable practices, both in its industrial and production activities. It is also working on various lines of agricultural and livestock research, the use of natural resources and the management of waste produced during its production processes. The role of Dcoop is to be the answer that the farmers, livestock farmers and consumers need to the challenges posed by the global market, climate change and new lifestyles.
