Investimento público em bioeconomia no Brasil: uma análise a partir do orçamento federal

Abstract

Bioeconomy has become a relevant topic in various areas of the economy and society. Therefore, it is important to follow the trajectory of the promotion and implementation of this model by the Brazilian state. However, the strategy and planning for the introduction of bioeconomy as an economic model are not yet well defined, and Brazil addresses the topic in a fragmented and largely irrelevant way. The overall objective of this work is to identify the public investment allocated to the bioeconomy sector in Brazil, taking into account the structure of the Federal Government's budget. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze how the Brazilian government addresses the topic of bioeconomy through its public policies and budget, using its budgetary instruments such as the Multi-Year Plan, the Budget Guidelines Law, and the Annual Budget Law. The analysis identified in the federal budget the areas, sectors, and public bodies that receive public resources allocated to activities related to bioeconomy in the period from 2016 to 2024 and demonstrated the evolution in the treatment of the topic as a national public policy.
