The study and promotion of the bioeconomy is closely related to the research, innovation and the competitiveness of value chains, mitigation of climate change, and economic and social development in rural areas.
The demand and markets around forest-related products (wood, firewood, truffles, mushrooms, cork, aromatic and medicinal plants, etc.), as well as those obtained with emerging technologies (laminated wood, agroforestry biofuels, humic acid fertilizers), require the development and establishment of new bioproducts within the concept of the circular bioeconomy together with the study and promotion of new policies and governance.
In this sense, one of the key elements is the development of tools to measure the social and economic values of forest ecosystems, through political instruments and economic incentives.
/ Forest use and wood products
/ Wood, derived technological products and their application in construction
/ Non-wood forest products: mushrooms, truffles, cork, aromatic and medicinal plants, forest fruits, pine nuts, etc.
/ Territorial analysis and database management
/ Risk governance
/ Strategic forest planning
/ Cost–benefit analysis
/ Evaluation of externalities and political instruments
/ Economic evaluation of environmental projects
/ Design and evaluation of governance instruments
