INCREDIBLE aims to address the existing research and innovation knowledge divide in Non-Wood Forest Products (NWFP) across the Mediterranean basin. To this extent, the project has initiated a series of innovation networks (iNets), that gather best practices and ready to use knowledge (both practical and science-based) related to NWFP conservation, collection, production, transformation and trade channels. By collecting, sharing, and transferring these practices and knowledge in and across the iNets, the iNets work towards their objective of strengthening the NWFP value chains.

The iNet coordinators have organised a scoping seminar for each iNet, gathering key stakeholders and researchers in order to better understand the functioning of the different value chains and their main knowledge needs, gaps and divides. These seminars were a great opportunity for stakeholders to propose new ideas, activities and opportunities which will contribute to the iNet development. Their outcomes are summaries in an innovation roadmap, that will help shape the future activities of INCREDIBLE. This Deliverable D1.3, entitled “A Road Map for innovating NWFPs value chains” is, then, a synthesis report the outcomes of the five scoping seminars. This report is designed as basic guideline for further work and development of iNets.
