How will everyday life look in the year 2040? Will we start off the day with a micro-algae smoothie mixed in our home bioreactor? Or shall we, perhaps, be voluntarily opting for an ecologically aware lifestyle? Will policymakers set new agendas by imposing carbon taxes and other conditions on the agricultural sector? There are many different ideas and suggestions on how to forge a sustainable future – but one thing is certain: In the face of climate change and species extinction, there is a need for innovative approaches if the world is to remain one worth living in. The exhibition provides an overview of the key issues involved while also presenting ways in which these can be tackled. An essential part of a sustainable future is a move away from fossil fuels to renewable biobased resources. Such a system – a bioeconomy – uses plants, animals and biotechnological processes to conserve resources. Taking centre stage in the exhibition are the opportunities and risks inherent in such a system.
