Description du projet
Promouvoir la bioéconomie et le développement rural grâce à de nouvelles initiatives biosourcées
Diffusion et communication sont à la base du renforcement du lien entre la science des modèles bio-économiques et leur mise en œuvre effective. Le projet BRANCHES, financé par l’UE, s’emploiera à accroître le flux d’informations, d’idées et de technologies novatrices entre les praticiens européens de l’agriculture et de la sylviculture, en particulier dans les zones rurales. Rassemblant 12 partenaires et plus de 30 organisations (y compris des entreprises, des associations, des ministères, des conseils et des fédérations), le projet résumera, partagera et présentera les meilleures pratiques existantes et les résultats de recherche de projets européens et nationaux antérieurs et en cours pour promouvoir la bioéconomie et le développement rural grâce à de nouvelles initiatives biosourcées. Le projet présentera également les réussites concernant les chaînes d’approvisionnement en biomasse forestière et agricole.
Objectif
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).
