Although this country has a long history on the subject, there are still some challenges to be resolved. That’s why, in order to support the formation of technical capacities that allow the design of bioeconomy policies and  investments projects, the argentine Ministry of Education and IICA joined to dictate an international postgraduate course in "Bioeconomy for Agroindustry and Rural Territories: good practices and lessons”. The course concluded with a field-based study at Rosario city, one of the most important bioeconomic innovation poles in the Americas.


In this article, it is intended to deepen the analysis of the Argentinian bio ecosystem, with a focus on Rosario's experience, to finally point out the bioeconomy challenges and opportunities in the region.
