Descripción del proyecto
Fomento de la bioeconomía y el desarrollo rural a través de nuevas iniciativas de base biológica
Difundir y comunicar; ahí está la clave para fortalecer el vínculo entre la ciencia de los modelos económicos de base biológica y su aplicación real. El proyecto financiado con fondos europeos BRANCHES trabajará para aumentar el flujo de información, conceptos nuevos y tecnologías entre los profesionales europeos de la agricultura y la silvicultura, sobre todo en las zonas rurales. El proyecto, que reúne a doce socios y más de treinta organizaciones (incluidas empresas, asociaciones, ministerios gubernamentales, consejos y federaciones), compilará, compartirá y presentará las mejores prácticas existentes y los resultados de investigación de proyectos finalizados o en curso, nacionales y de la Unión Europea, para fomentar la bioeconomía y el desarrollo rural a través de nuevas iniciativas de base biológica. También presentará los casos de éxito relacionados con cadenas de suministro de biomasa agrícola y forestal.
Objetivo
BRANCHES aims to increase implementation of cost-efficient new technologies mobilize more biomass and create new business opportunities in rural areas by improving and strengthening the connection between practice and science of bio-based economy through offering a channel for two-way flow of information, new ideas and technologies within European agriculture & forestry practitioners particularly in rural areas. Research in bioeconomy has accelerated during the last ten years and a vast amount of knowledge has been generated. However, due to the multiple sectors and complex value chains involved, a significant part of that valuable information is in danger to stay untapped.
The BRANCHES project will summarize, share and present the existing best practices and research results from earlier and running EU and national projects to promote bioeconomy and rural development through new bio-based initiatives. The demands and needs of the practitioners will be gathered by a series of workshops and meetings and active co-operation within national networks. In BRANCHES, the selected knowledge on forest and agricultural biomass supply chains will be integrated with available and innovative technologies and best-practice cases for bioeconomy solutions with bioenergy conversion systems in wider bioeconomy context. Policy recommendations, competitive biomass supply chains and most suitable innovative technologies will be summarized and shared in easily understandable formats (Practice abstracts and factsheets) through Thematic Networks launched by BRANCHES. The cooperation within Thematic Networks is expected to lead to outcomes which will have a lasting and widespread impact on practitioners across Europe in the rural environment. The project consortium has 12 partners, and, in addition, over 30 different organizations (including companies, associations, Ministries, Councils and Federations) have express their support to the project (through support letters).
