At the time when the stronger development of the bioeconomy will help the European Union accelerate progress towards a circular and low-carbon economy, global experts on non-wood forest products (NWFP) are calling on European and international institutions, governments, policy makers and private sector to recognise and leverage the potential of those products and consider them as a key element of the green economy in Europe and worldwide.

Project EURAKNOS has just released its Explorer’s Guide to Thematic Networks.

36 experts in non-wood forest products (NWFP) from around the world joined a two-part, online peer review process towards policy recommendations for NWFPs developed by partners in the INCREDIBLE project.
