Project description
 

Globally, a bio-based economy is emerging that is developing more efficient and more sustainable approaches for producing food, feed, energy and also industrial products derived from renewable resources. This project brings together partners from the EU and Latin America to jointly develop project concepts that are relevant for the socio-economic development of especially rural communities in Latin America.
