What is it?

Biorural Toolkit

BioRural Toolkit is an online repository of bio-based solutions that enables the interaction between rural actors and provides the ground for wider application of bio-based solutions in rural areas allowing the transitions of rural areas from linear economy to circular bio-based economy.

European Rural Bioeconomy Network (ERBN)

BioRural aims to create a network of actors playing different roles for Bioeconomy expansion in rural areas. 4 regional Rural Bioeconomy Platforms (RBPs) have been formed by splitting Europe in 4 geographic quartiles, creating regional hubs of neighboring countries and synthesizing 1 pan-European Rural Bioeconomy Network (ERBN) by combining all 4 RBPs.
