BBioNets is a thematic network that relies on, promotes and further advances the work carried out by EIP-AGRI Operational Groups (OGs) with respect to the management and/or processing of agricultural and forest biomass with BBTs. Its objective is to incite primary producers all over Europe to embrace and adopt BBTs that will enable them to reduce GHG emissions, make better use of underutilised biomass, create new diversified incomes, reduce costs through circular practices, increase farm/forest sustainable management, and create/develop new value chains.
The European Forest Research and Innovation Ecosystem (EUFORE) is a Horizon Europe project funded by the European Union, running from November 2022 to October 2026.
The overarching ambition of EUFORE is to greatly improve the sector’s research and innovation funding and governance structure. The project builds a sustainable, transnational, co-creative environment to define, implement and evaluate a research and innovation (R&I) agenda and roadmap for the forest-based value chains in Europe.
OptFor-EU co-develops a Decision Support System (DSS) with forest managers and other forest stakeholders, that provides them with suitable climate adaptation and mitigation options for science-based optimising forest ecosystem services (FES) (including decarbonisation) and enhancing forest resilience and its capacities to mitigate climate change across Europe.
The main purpose of EU-FarmBook is to support knowledge exchange, by further developing, expanding and maintaining an easily accessible and user-friendly EU-wide Online Platform for practitioners in the agriculture and forestry sectors. To achieve the main purpose of EU-FarmBook, there are six specific objectives:
Collect, develop, engage, communicate, exploit, network.
PREMIERE aims to strengthen the multi-actor approach by supporting the development of more relevant, coherent, and well-prepared project proposals. This includes all aspects of : 1. improving the search for suitable partners; 2. building the project partnership; 3. co-designing the work plan; 4. negotiating an appropriate budget.
A particular focus will be on the involvement of new partner organisations that have not previously been involved in multi-actor projects, including those that have made previous unsuccessful project proposals.
SMURF (Sustainable Management models and valUe chains foR small Forests) – The forest owners’ project – represents a paradigm shift in how we approach forest management and is focused on developing sustainable and profitable forestry management models for small forest properties throughout Europe. By integrating close-to-nature silviculture (CNS) with innovative business models and a harmonised European Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) system, SMURF creates a framework that enhances biodiversity and resilience, ensuring the economic viability of small forest holdings.
ResAlliance (“Landscape resilience knowledge alliance for agriculture and forestry in the Mediterranean basin”) is a thematic network project funded by the Horizon Europe Programme of the European Union. The aim is to provide foresters and farmers with the knowledge and tools necessary to implement innovative landscape resilience solutions. Focusing on Mediterranean countries, ResAlliance will gather and assess knowledge, gaps, barriers, and good practices to achieve resilient landscapes, with particular emphasis on measures against the hazards of climate change.
