ABSTRACT This review article key trends and debates in bioeconomy research, with a particular focus on the role of the meat industry. We begin by briefly introducing bioeconomy studies as a scholarly terrain on which projects of ecological modernization are both promoted and critically debated. The main part presents a thematic review of literature that explicitly addresses meat within the context of the bioeconomy. We then analyze how these studies reflect (or challenge) the paradigm of ecological modernization and assess the extent to which the meat industry features in these debates. From an economic geography perspective, we identify notable omissions in the literature concerning the political economy of this industry, as well as the resulting uneven socio‐spatial relations and environmental impacts. We conclude by suggesting directions for future research to better assess the implications of capital‐led strategies in the meat industry for broader goals of social‐ecological transformation within bioeconomy frameworks.
