以知识为基础的生物经济作为欧盟的一项研究和创新政策已受到重视。作为一种政策框架，基于知识的生物经济吸引了两种相互竞争的愿景，这些愿景可以被分析为想象——预示着一个可能的、理想的未来的战略话语。人们普遍认为，生命科学将提高生产力，增强欧洲在全球价值链中的竞争优势。另一种愿景是将农业生态学和较短的食品供应链联系起来，作为农民从其增加的价值中获得更多收益的一种手段。每个愿景都倾向于对不可持续农业和生态高效补救措施进行不同的诊断。每一个都延伸了不同的农业创新范式，预见了一个可以从未来市场中获益的经济共同体。这两种相互竞争的愿景赋予了相同的关键术语——知识、生物资源和经济——不同的含义。在欧盟基于知识的生物经济研究计划中，生命科学愿景占据主导地位，尽管生态农业也根据利益相关者网络的建议获得了重要地位。通过这些努力，研究政策优先事项已向更加多元化的农业创新途径开放。
The knowledge-based bio-economy has gained prominence as a research and innovation policy of the European Union. As a policy framework the knowledge-based bio-economy has attracted two contending visions, which can be analyzed as imaginaries – strategic discourses prefiguring a possible, desirable future. In the dominant vision, life sciences will enhance productivity for European competitive advantage in global value chains. A rival vision links agroecology and shorter food supply chains, as a means for farmers to gain more from the value that they add. Each vision favors a different diagnosis of unsustainable agriculture and eco-efficient remedies. Each extends a different paradigm of agri-innovation, foreseeing an economic community that can gain from future markets. These two contending visions give different meanings to the same key terms – knowledge, biological resources and economy. In the EU's research program for a knowledge-based bio-economy, a life sciences vision dominates the priorities, though agroecology has also gained a significant place in response to proposals from stakeholder networks. Through these efforts, research policy priorities have been opened up to more plural agri-innovation pathways.
