Descrizione del progetto
Coltivare tecnologie biocompatibili in agricoltura e silvicoltura
La resilienza climatica e l’aumento della mitigazione delle emissioni di gas a effetto serra rappresentano una sfida per l’agricoltura e la silvicoltura. I gruppi operativi del PEI-AGRI coinvolgono agricoltori e altre parti interessate per promuovere l’innovazione in questi settori. Il progetto BBioNets, finanziato dall’UE, si basa sul lavoro svolto da tali gruppi in relazione alla gestione e alla lavorazione della biomassa agricola e forestale mediante tecnologie biocompatibili. BBioNets adotta un modello multiattore a quintupla elica, istituendo reti forestali e agricole in sei diverse regioni dell’UE i cui compiti sono identificare le esigenze locali, dare priorità a specifiche tecnologie biocompatibili e agevolare la condivisione delle conoscenze e delle pratiche relative a tali tecnologie con agricoltori e silvicoltori. L’approccio applicato dal progetto consente di migliorare le pratiche sostenibili e colloca l’Europa in prima linea a livello mondiale nell’agricoltura, nella silvicoltura e nella bioeconomia.
Obiettivo
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.
