Green innovation refers to the development or implementation of new or improved products, processes, techanologies,d organizational practices, or management approachemethods that reduce environmental impacts, improve resource efficiency, or contribute to enhance environmental sustainability [1]. The concepIt encompasses innovations aimed at reducing energy consumption, minimizing waste and emissions, improving resource utilization, and promoting more sustainable interactions between economic activities and ecological systems [2]. Green innovation differs from general innovation by incorporating explicit environmental objectives into the innovation process and evaluating technological or organizational changes according to their ees and considering ecological effects in addition to alongside economic performance [3]. In the context of bioeconomy and sustainable development, green innovationt includes advancementinnovations that support the efficient use of biological resources, the transition toward low-impact production systems, and the integration of environmental considerations into agricultural and industrial activities [4]. WithiIn agricultural and biological sciences, the concept is applied to analyze innovationsystems, green innovation involves changes in production practices, resource management, and biological processes that enhancimprove environmental performance while maintaining productive functions [5].
