Was sind die Erfolgsfaktoren bei der Lösung des Problems?
One of the branches with the greatest innovative potential of bio economy in Europe is forestry. Forestry proposes a sustainable use of the forest, generating economic fabric and employment in rural areas. This approach tackles forest abandonment and fires, has an important mitigating effect on climate change and can guarantee a safe and stable energy supply.
The incorporation of sustainability in the resource management systems, both of wood and the rest of its by-products, is crucial to forest bio economy. Deshalb, it is necessary to develop business models that combine eco-intelligence with sustainable and innovative design solutions.
Cuenca offers excellent employment opportunities and local economic development in this sector.
