Sustainability assessments and stakeholders inclusion in bioenergy and bioeconomy
Sustainable Biomass Management: Insights from FOREST4EU Operational Groups in Forestry and Agroforestry Sectors
Short Introductive summary
The Forestry and Agroforestry sectors navigate sustainability challenges, balancing the rising demand for renewables, environmental concerns, and sustainable ecosystem management. Biomass management emerges as a crucial resource, contributing to renewable energy and diverse products. Optimizing wood mobilization and reusing processing waste for biomass are key for economic efficiency and resource circularity. Despite innovations in European Innovation Partnerships for Agriculture Operational Groups, these often stay localized. The Horizon FOREST4EU project establishes a network among Operational Groups focused on Sustainable Forest Management and Agroforestry, analyzing over 100 innovations for their potential in supporting EU policies and stakeholder needs.
