Descrizione del progetto
Modelli di business innovativi per rafforzare l’agricoltura e la silvicoltura europea
La produzione primaria in agricoltura e silvicoltura costituisce una componente vitale della bioeconomia circolare europea. Nonostante l’importanza dei produttori primari, il loro coinvolgimento nella bioeconomia è limitato e i benefici associati non sono equamente distribuiti lungo la catena del valore. Riconoscendo questa disparità e il ruolo centrale svolto dai produttori primari, il progetto C4B, finanziato dall’UE, analizzerà le attuali catene del valore nella silvicoltura e nell’agricoltura in ambito di bioeconomia con l’obiettivo di formulare modelli di business innovativi e sostenibili, che renderanno equilibrata la quota di potere e profitto nelle nuove catene del valore circolari a base biologica e rafforzeranno la cooperazione tra i produttori primari e gli altri attori chiave del settore. In definitiva, C4B intende dimostrare l’ampia applicabilità di questi modelli e stimolarne l’adozione attraverso finanziamenti provenienti da terze parti.
Obiettivo
Primary production in agriculture and forestry represents an essential part of the European circular bioeconomy. However, the involvement of primary producers in circular bio-based economy is still limited, and the benefits are in most cases not fairly distributed along the value chain, to the disadvantage of primary producers. Fair and sustainable business models that create opportunities for rural entrepreneurship and develop new forms of successful rural business are therefore needed.
The purpose of C4B is to accelerate the development of rural communities and their economic viability by developing new fair and sustainable business models for different agricultural and forestry value chains. C4B business models will be designed to balance the share of power and profits across novel bio-based value chains and to enhance the cooperation among farmers, foresters and industry. This project will advance the understanding of bio-based value chains by carrying out a holistic analysis of different case studies in EU that considers technology, business environment, primary producers’ behaviour, contractual agreements and ownership, and sustainability.
By providing financial support to third parties via Open Call, C4B will demonstrate the applicability, scalability and replicability of the new business models in different business settings and geographical areas, eventually stimulating the uptake of the new business models.
Joining forces with complementary and trans-disciplinary stakeholders from agriculture, forestry and industrial sector, the C4B consortium will define key R&I priorities to be implemented by means of the coming EU funding programmes to support the EU Bioeconomy Strategy, as well policy recommendations to advise Member States for implementing realistic and effective national CAP Strategic Plans that entail bioeconomy interventions.
