Digital tools and technology systems for the sustainable management of Mediterranean forest resources

Descrizione del progetto

Digitalizzare le risorse forestali del Mediterraneo

I cambiamenti climatici e i fattori socioeconomici nella regione mediterranea possono avere gravi conseguenze per le foreste, comportando in ultima analisi l’esaurimento dei servizi ecosistemici e causando problemi economici, sociali e ambientali. Per migliorare la competitività, la filiera foresta-legno nei paesi mediterranei europei richiede l’integrazione di moderne tecnologie digitali. In questo contesto, il progetto DIGIMEDFOR, finanziato dall’UE, migliorerà la tecnologia della filiera foresta-legno nel Mediterraneo, con l’obiettivo di aumentarne la competitività e facilitare una gestione efficiente delle risorse forestali e dei servizi ecosistemici. Inoltre, il progetto garantirà la tracciabilità del legno dalle foreste all’industria lignea sfruttando varie soluzioni digitali, tra cui tecnologie geospaziali, di intelligenza artificiale e di modellizzazione, con l’obiettivo di monitorare e gestire le risorse forestali.

Obiettivo

The MED region includes more than 25 million hectares of forests and about 50 million hectares of other wooded lands. Climatic and socio-economic changes in this region could have serious consequences for forests, potentially resulting in the loss of ecosystem services and causing a wide range of economic, social, and environmental issues. The low competitiveness of the forest-wood supply chain in European Mediterranean (EUMED) countries is currently amplified by the missing or limited access of forest managers and companies to current and new digital technologies which appear to be out of date in certain key areas or fail to address some of the most pressing difficulties that the industry is expected to be confronting in the next decades. This rationale calls for the urgent implementation of a multi-actor approach to digitalization, starting from recognizing stakeholders’ needs and subsequently defining joint actions. To this end DigiMedFor's overall goal is to transform the technological landscape of the Mediterranean forest-wood supply chain by increasing its competitiveness, thus allowing the different stakeholders to better manage and supply multiple forest ecosystem services, including the traceability of wood origin from forests to end-users.

In line with the EU forest strategy and the EU digital strategy, DigiMedFor will employ advanced and innovative digital solutions to improve the monitoring and management of forest resources along the supply chain from their origin up to the wood industry, optimising both the sustainability of wood production and traceability and delivery of ecosystem services. DigiMedFor will address the synergetic use of geo-spatial, AI, and modelling technologies, combining them with ICT.
