 #BioReCeR compiled a set 📋 of credible and quantitative information in a systematic manner so as to facilitate #measuring 📊 and #monitoring the #circular #bioeconomy status in the #European Union. 🟢 The focus is placed on four highly promising sectors (i.e., #fishery, #forestry, #agricultural and the #urban and #industrial sectors, such as the Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (OFMSW) and Sewage Sludge) with regard to the #supply of secondary biological #raw #materials that normally are underutilized and exit the value chain.

Re Nopal - it looks as if there are some major efforts underway to plant at mega-scale to satisfy SDG7. It seems then that this might be a good time to have some conversations about leveraging some of the things that Nopal can do that would address some of the other SDG’s. I’m doing some research and posting articles for thought and that might point to how else to leverage the Prickly Pear’s power beyond supplying amendments for jet fuel. #food #forage #regreening #landrestoration #agroforestry #biodiversity #regenerativeagriculture #nopal #pricklypear #biogas #biofuel

Imagine having the ability to choose the ideal mix of tree species that not only enhance agroforestry crop growth but also contribute to ecosystem health. Ecofit™ makes this vision a reality by leveraging biotechnology to analyze environmental factors and recommend the most beneficial tree combinations.

FuturaGene, a full owned Suzano’ subsidiary, received on March 11th approval for first-ever genetically modified eucalyptus with triple-stacked traits from the Brazilian National Biosafety Technical Commission: yield enhancement, herbicide tolerance and insect resistance. In April 2015, FuturaGene received the regulatory approval for the first genetic modified (GMO) eucalyptus tree for productivity enhancement. The productivity gain was estimated in 20% over regular eucalyptus. Considering the growth cycle of 7 years, it is likely that Suzano has started harvesting such trees recently. What does 20% gain mean? Certainly, a cash cost reduction of USD 12-14 per ton of pulp. We can also consider additional reduction of USD 10 per ton, based on cost of capital (capital employed in forest assets x weighted average cost of capital, Wacc). Applied over Suzano’s total capacity, the future savings can reach ¼ billion dollars per year. #pulp #pulpandpaper #pulpandpaperindustry #forestry #timberland #gmo #researchanddevelopment #researchandinnovation

Did you know about Voyria Tenella? This fascinating plant forms a unique symbiotic relationship with mycorrhizal fungi which supply it with essential nutrients 🤝 The relationship between the two went so well that the plant eventually lost its ability to photosynthesize and produce chlorophyll, only relying on its fungal friend 🌿 Leveraging the power of said mycorrhizal fungi, our portfolio company, Rhizocore Technologies, is transforming reforestation efforts. Their primary product, the Rhizopellet, enhances tree resilience and growth by ensuring saplings tap into the crucial fungal underground networks, increasing both carbon sequestration and survival rates of newly planted saplings 🌲 At Nucleus Capital, we're excited by solutions that mirror the ingenuity of nature, contributing to more sustainable and resilient agricultural and forestry systems. If you're a founder working on breakthrough technologies in #agriculture and #forestry, we would love to hear from you! 🌾 #venturecapital #agtech #synbio #sustainability

📣OPEN CALL: Do you have or want to launch a small-scale project concentrated on high value #biobased products, in the sectors of #fisheries, #forestry, #farming, and #agrifood, and are interested in funding and support? Then don’t miss out on this opportunity to apply for up to 50,000€ funding and support with PRIMED Project 🙌 PRIMED, a pioneering project dedicated to developing #CircularBusinessModels in the #bioeconomy, has announced the launch of its first Open Call. This call aims to validate high-value bio-based products developed within PRIMED’s five Living Labs, located in Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, and Finland. The labs focus on key bioeconomy sectors including fisheries, forestry, farming, and agri-food, to cover the biomass from the primary sector. More information about the Open Call, including the 5 Living Labs, is available here: https://lnkd.in/gfru_AmP #OpenCall #Funding #PrimarySector #PRIMED #LivingLabs

🎉 Happy #InternationalWomensDay! 👩🌾 👉 Did you know that women make up only 31.6% of farmers in the EU, making #farming a male-dominated profession?🌾 🌳 The same applies in #forestry as well, with the percentage there being even lower at 18.2%. 💡Aligning with the principles & guidelines of the #CAP, BBioNets aims to promote #equal treatment of women as regards #access to land, training/education and financing. It will also strive to increase their participation in agriculture & forestry, applying the "#BBioNetsForEveryone" concept. 🤝 #bbionets #euproject #eufunding #biobasedtechnologies #biobased #bioeconomy #forestry #agriculture #networks #HorizonEurope #worldday #internationalwomensday #education -- Munster Technological University Teagasc CREA Ricerca Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation CTA (Technological Corporation of Andalusia) American Farm School TEPRO Consultores Agrícolas, S.
