Creation and promotion of Forest and Agriculture Networks to boost Bio-Based Technologies adoption and Value Chain development

Project description

Growing bio-based technologies in agriculture and forestry

Climate resilience and increased mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions pose challenges for the agricultural and forest sectors. EIP AGRI operational groups (OGs) engage farmers and other stakeholders to promote innovation in agriculture and forestry. The EU-funded BBioNets project builds upon the work of EIP OGs in agricultural and forest biomass management and processing with bio-based technologies (BBTs). BBioNets adopts a multi-actor and quintuple helix model, establishing forest and agriculture networks (FANs) in six EU regions. FANs identify local needs, prioritise specific BBTs, and facilitate the sharing of BBT knowledge and practices with farmers and foresters. This approach enhances sustainable practices and positions Europe at the forefront of farming, forestry, and the bioeconomy.

Objective

In response to the increasing need for grassroots initiatives and knowledge sharing to address major challenges such as climate resilience and increased mitigation of GHG emissions, while supporting zero waste and circular economy with biomass reuse, BBioNets will constitute a thematic network that will rely on, promote, and further advance the work carried out by EIP AGRI Operational Groups (OGs) with respect to management and/or processing of agricultural and forest biomass with Bio-Based Technologies (BBTs). Applying the quintuple helix model and a multi-actor approach both within the consortium itself and on the ground activities, BBioNets will set up 6 regional Forest and Agriculture Networks - FANs (IE, ES, IT, GR, PL, CZ) that will ensure balanced representation of all AKIS stakeholders. FANs will identify local needs and, through co-creation and joint actions, prioritise specific BBTs, benefit from and validate knowledge material developed by the consortium building on previous OG and EU-funded project results. They will assist BBioNets in sharing BBT knowledge ready for practice to farmers and foresters, boosting the (re)definition of value chains, stimulating cross-fertilisation beyond borders, and bringing Europe to the forefront of farming, forestry, and bioeconomy with economically viable and sustainable practices. BBioNets’s solid foundation and strength lies in its partners’ a) wide networks covering the Agriculture, Forestry and Bioeconomy world, b) long-established collaborations with OGs, c) extensive knowledge of bio-based technologies and solutions and d) long experience in awareness raising, knowledge transfer, capacity building, networking and value chain creation services.
