1. Bio-based value chains and market integration: The transition towards a bio-based economy can bring new markets and economic activities to rural areas, create new employment opportunities, and diversify income sources for the local population. 
2. Technological and institutional innovations in the bioeconomy: The success of the bioeconomy depends to a large extent on the sustainable production and trade of biomass. However, uptake of some bio-based technologies remains low and their impact on socioeconomic and environmental outcomes is not well understood.

The ISEE Journal, Ecological Economics

The journal is concerned with extending and integrating the understanding of the interfaces and interplay between «nature’s household» (ecosystems) and «humanity’s household» (the economy).

Ecological economics is an interdisciplinary field defined by a set of concrete problems or challenges related to governing economic activity in a way that promotes human well-being, sustainability, and justice. The journal thus emphasizes critical work that draws on and integrates elements of ecological science, economics, and the analysis of values, behaviors, cultural practices, institutional structures, and societal dynamics.

The journal is transdisciplinary in spirit and methodologically open, drawing on the insights offered by a variety of intellectual traditions, and appealing to a diverse readership.
