BBioNets: advancing bio-based technologies for sustainable agriculture and forestry

BBioNets is an EU-funded thematic network dedicated to fostering the adoption of Bio-Based Technologies (BBTs) in agriculture and forestry, contributing to a more sustainable and circular bioeconomy. The project collaborates with EIP-AGRI Operational Groups to enhance the sustainable management and processing of agricultural and forest biomass. A key initiative of BBioNets is the establishment of six regional Forest and Agriculture Networks (FANs) across Ireland, Greece, Spain, Italy, Poland, and Czech Republic. These networks engage Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKIS) stakeholders, including farmers, foresters, researchers, and policymakers, to co-create and implement practical bioeconomy solutions. By identifying regional needs and prioritizing BBTs, BBioNets ensures that innovative practices are effectively integrated into existing value chains. BBioNets develops assessment tools and user-friendly materials to support decision-making, providing guidance on bio-based innovations that enhance resource efficiency and environmental sustainability. By facilitating knowledge exchange and strengthening cross-sectoral collaboration, BBioNets positions Europe at the forefront of bioeconomy advancements.This poster will showcase the impact of BBioNets in promoting bioeconomy best practices and fostering innovation in the BIOEAST macro-region. Attendees will gain insights into successful case studies, practical applications of BBTs, and opportunities for collaboration in sustainable agriculture and forestry.
