As part of the development of the Bioeconomy Action Plan, a public consultation was open for nine weeks between 24 November 2022 and 27 January 2023.

The National Development Plan, Project Ireland 2040, is the government's €116 billion development plan which is underpinned by a 20 year planning framework. It highlights the potential of the circular bioeconomy in promoting more efficient use of renewable resources, while supporting economic development and employment in rural Ireland.
As part of Project 2040, and following a public consultation process the government published the first National Policy Statement on the Bioeconomy in March 2018.
Through this commitment the government recognises that the bioeconomy is crucial for decarbonisation, sustainability and circularity, while also providing an impetus to competiveness and rural and regional development and employment.
This commitment is further recognised within Government strategies and polices such as Food Vision 2030, Climate Action Plan 2021, Our Rural Future 2021-2025 and Impact 2030.
