A thematic network to design the penetration PAth of Non-food Agricultural Crops into European Agriculture

Description du projet

Promouvoir les cultures non alimentaires en Europe

Bien que la demande de cultures non alimentaires (CNA) soit en augmentation, notamment en tant que matières premières et biocarburants, leur production reste marginale au sein de l’UE. Pour résoudre ce problème, le projet PANACEA, financé par l’UE, souhaite encourager la culture des CNA en Europe en établissant un réseau d’échange ouvert d’expertise et de conseils commerciaux entre les chercheurs, l’industrie et la communauté agricole. Il commencera par dresser l’inventaire des CNA durables et analysera leur efficacité potentielle dans les zones rurales. Il créera et gérera ensuite une plateforme qui permettra de diffuser des informations, de proposer des cours et du matériel pédagogique relatifs à des chaînes de valeur spécifiques et donnera aux parties prenantes la possibilité de partager leurs connaissances et d’établir des contacts commerciaux.

Objectif

Non-food Crops (NFC) are used to produce a wide range of bio-products and bioenergy. In spite of considerable investment
in R&D and the increasing need of bio-based industries for feedstock, NFCs are not widespread in EU agriculture, mainly
due to challenges in supply chains and gaps in policy framework and investment incentives. PANACEA aims to set up a
thematic network to foster the effective exchange between research, industry and the farming community so that direct
applicable solutions are widely disseminated and grassroots-level needs and innovative ideas thoroughly captured in order
to design the penetration path of NFC into European agriculture. To achieve this goal, an inventory of long-term scientific
results on the NFC sustainable production will be created building on the profound experience of the consortium, and the
NFC close to implementation will be identified (WP1). Combining the farmers’ and bio-based industries’ needs and interests
(WP2) with the NFC ready-to-practice potential the role of NFC in the rural renaissance will be analysed. A strong and
interactive multi-actor forum will be established with actors from science, industry and agricultural practice to facilitate
capturing and spreading of innovative ideas (WP3). Practice-oriented knowledge on specific value chains easily accessible
and available in the long term will be assured through training courses and relevant educational material (WP4). Knowledge
sharing on technical, economic and environmental aspects of NFC, extensive communication and networking, matching
between the supply and demand sides will be facilitated by the PANACEA Platform (WP5). The project findings will be
disseminated at large following an extended exploitation and dissemination plan that will be active during the project and
beyond and ensure the sustainability of the ‘Thematic Network on Non-food Crops’ through its link with EU wide initiatives,
the EIP-AGRI and its Operational Groups (WP6).
