𝐂𝟒𝐛 𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 – 𝟐𝟏𝐬𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 !🌍 This year’s theme, "𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝", highlights the vital role forests play in nourishing both people and the planet. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞: 🌳𝐄𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬: Over 5 billion people globally utilize forest products for food, medicine, and livelihoods. Forests offer a rich variety of nuts, fruits, seeds, roots, tubers, leaves, mushrooms, honey, wild meat, and insects, providing essential nutrients. 🪵 𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐮𝐞𝐥: More than 2 billion people rely on wood and other traditional fuels for cooking, underscoring the ongoing importance of forests in daily life. 👩🏻🌾 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭: Forests are crucial for agriculture, providing habitats for pollinators, maintaining soil health, retaining water, offering food and shade for livestock, regulating temperatures, acting as natural windbreaks for crops, and enhancing rainfall for agricultural needs. 🐻 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐭: Over 3,200 species of wild animals from forests serve as essential protein sources, especially for Indigenous Peoples and rural communities in tropical regions. 🫐 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭: During crises like failed harvests or conflicts, forests act as safety nets, supporting food security and diversifying incomes when usual food sources are unavailable. 🚰 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧: Forested watersheds supply freshwater to more than 85% of the world's major cities. Sustainable forest management can enhance water quality for over 1.7 billion urban residents, contributing to their food and water security. 🍓 𝐑𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬: In certain regions, forests and trees contribute approximately 20% of income for rural households, enabling access to nutritious and diverse diets, particularly for the poorest households. C4B consortium is dedicated to advancing a circular bioeconomy, leveraging forest-based innovations to promote sustainability and resilience. By fostering responsible management and utilization of forest resources, we aim to harmonize environmental preservation with economic growth. 🌳 🌲 𝐽𝑜𝑖𝑛 𝑢𝑠 𝑖𝑛 ℎ𝑜𝑛𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑜𝑤𝑎𝑟𝑑𝑠 𝑎 𝑓𝑢𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑏𝑜𝑡ℎ 𝑝𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑖𝑣𝑒! 🐿️ ℹ️ https://lnkd.in/euXs43Pm #InternationalDayOfForests #ForestsAndFood #CircularBioeconomy #C4B #ForestDay #SustainableFuture 🌿CiaoTech - Gruppo PNO Innovation Engineering PNO Innovation (Spain) APRE - Agenzia per la Promozione della Ricerca Europea Fondazione Agrifood & Bioeconomy FVG BioFuel Region CluBE-Cluster of Bioeconomy and Environment of Western Macedonia University of Hohenheim Wageningen University & Research Leitat Technological Center Salvatore Martire

Many rely on yield as an indicator, overlooking key nutritional insights. 🌍 NUTRI-CHECK NET is transforming crop nutrition management with a structured 3-Step Approach: ✅ Plan – Establish nutrient requirements using improved recommendation systems. 🔍 Check & Adjust – Utilize tools and services to monitor and refine nutrient applications. 📊 Review – Analyze harvest data to evaluate efficiency and optimize future nutrition strategies. 🔬 Across 9 European countries, NUTRI-CHECK NET is: 🌾 Cataloging decision-support tools for smarter fertilization. 🤝 Engaging 26 Crop Nutrition Clubs to test and refine best practices. 💡 Facilitating expert discussions on practical implementation. 💭 Why does it matter? Unoptimized nutrient applications increase costs, cause pollution, and compromise production. By embracing a continuous improvement cycle, farmers can boost efficiency, cut waste, and enhance sustainability—crop by crop, field by field. 📢 Join the discussion! National Expert Groups are evaluating this approach, ensuring it delivers real benefits to farmers and advisors. 🚀 Follow #BioPills & stay tuned for insights from NUTRI-CHECK NET at: https://buff.ly/4aVyhJe
