Bioresources and Environment

About the Journal

Bioresources mean any resource of biological origin. They are defined as living-based materials and processes which are naturally and sustainably renewable and biodegradable. Bioresources are important key drivers in present and future socio-economic evolutions due to their renewability. The exploitation of bioresources offers a massive potential to solve environmental problems including replacing non-renewable energy, reducing pollution, preventing global warming, as well as solving food shortages. However, continuous environmental deterioration due to overpopulation, pollution, and deforestation has been identified as a major threat to the depletion of bioresources.

Environment refers to either actual physical surroundings or social to cultural background factors and they are interchangeable with each other with an ecological term 'ecosystem'. The surrounding includes soil, land surface, surface waters (including streams, ponds, drainage basins, wetlands, and ocean waters), groundwaters, drinking water supply, stream sediments, surrounding air (including indoor air), diversity in plant and animal life, and any other environmental medium or natural resource. The environment is crucially important for human populations and well-being, as well as for the health and livelihoods of overall ecosystems.
