Action 1

Bioeconomy Self-Assessment Guide and Demo Initiative

Farmers and cooperatives often have biomass, by-products or other underused resources with potential value in the circular bioeconomy. Yet it can be difficult to assess which uses are technically and economically viable and suitable for their farm or local context. Existing tools may be too technical, costly or poorly adapted to everyday farm realities.

A1 will simplify the initial assessment of these resources through clear guidance materials, real-life examples and peer exchange.

What we want to achieve
Help producers autonomously explore and assess circular bio-based business options suited to their resources and local context.

What we will deliver
An easy-to-use self-assessment guide, demo visits, webinars and a digital repository of business cases, good practices and useful information.

What this can change
Producers will better understand the potential value of their resources and be better equipped to access higher-value markets and diversify their income.
