Periodic Reporting for period 1 - B-THENET (BEST PRACTICES AND INNOVATIONS FOR A SUSTAINABLE BEEKEEPING)
Periodo di rendicontazione: 2022-09-01 al 2024-02-29
B-THENET pursues the following objectives:
1. To modernize the EU beekeeping sector by establishing a multi-actor network with complementary knowledge that connects beekeepers, researchers, advisors, and the other actors in the apiculture sector.
2. To collect, categorize (“Inventory”) and select good practices for sustainable beekeeping and new research findings ready to put into practice or not sufficiently known using a bottom-up methodology.
3. To create a digital knowledge platform (“Exchange”) to increase the flow of practical information and knowledge sharing within the EU.
4. To create a digital knowledge platform (“Repository”) to collect, share and store knowledge on best practices, for the long-term, facilitating and harmonizing the education of the EU beekeeping sector.
The flow of practical information will be supported by the 13 National Centres, 3 International Centres and by the targeted events (312 national and 6 international), 1 EU manual on best practices, and 1 set of Guidelines for advisors in beekeeping, thus contributing to a rapid cross-fertilization process and to a greater acceptance of the final outputs.
