CBE JU has established a dedicated three-year working group aimed at empowering primary producers to address opportunities offered by circular bio-based innovations and to face associated obstacles. The working group has the mandate to prepare and implement an action plan, which will propose actionable and practical solutions to address key challenges, such as the lack of awareness, limited integration in value chains, financial barriers and insufficient access to infrastructure.
The ultimate goals of this initiative are to:
Empower primary producers to play an active and rewarding role in circular bio-based value chains.
Ensure they benefit from the economic, social and environmental opportunities these systems offer.
The RootLinks project will support the group’s mandate by facilitating their work, strengthening communication and turning ideas into action.
This initiative builds on CBE JU’s growing support for the sector, which has already seen €185 million invested since 2022 and 76 primary sector entities participating in funded projects.
