Our Goals

ENHANCING CLIMATE CHANGE RESILIENCE

As an island, Puerto Rico is especially prone to the consequences of climate change. Developing infrastructural strategies and concepts in areas prone to drought, storms and flood can make these areas more resilient to these changes.

STRENGHTEN SUSTAINABLE LOCAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Bioeconomy opens up new avenues for local entrepreneurs who can either expand their existing business or create new ones.

IMPROVING SOCIAL INTEGRATION

Bioeconomy will, over time, create new jobs which will ease the currently high migration rate. Sharing the common goal to preserve the Island’s valuable and unique natural, social and environmental heritage, people will grow closer together.

PRESERVING NATURE

Uncontrolled land use and waste disposal as well as non-sustainable farming, forestry and fishing have a dramatic impact on Puerto Rico’s ecosystems. Creating sustainable value chains supported by adequate administrative measures will ensure that these habitats are preserved.

IMPROVING QUALITY OF LIFE

Bioeconomy produces a cleaner environment. By reusing waste we reduce pollution and use fewer resources. This in turn creates a healthier ecosystem on the Island.
