Objective of the project (in English): 

AGRIFORVALOR will close the research and innovation divide by connecting practitioners from agriculture and forestry with research and academia and other multi-actors in multi-actor innovation partnership networks in order to valorize and exploit sidestream biomass resources from agriculture and forestry.

Description of activities (native language): 

AGRIFORVALOR will set up Biomass Innovation Design Hubs, piloted in south of Spain (Andalucia), in Hungary and Ireland. In each of these hubs, existing research results and good practices on valorization of biomass sidestreams from agro and forest will be shared and matched with the specific needs and potentials, new grass-roots ideas collected and developed and dedicated innovation support applied to further deploy selected topics which are dealt with by multi-actor innovation partnership groups.
