BIO4AFRICA
The BIO4AFRICA project will support the deployment of the bioeconomy in rural Africa through the development of value chains and bio-based solutions.
The project will develop a catalogue of bio-based technologies adapted to the local needs and context, and it will train farmers in rural Africa to sustainably produce a variety of high value-added bio-based projects, such as animal feed, fertilizers, or biofuels.
BIO4AFRICA has received €9 million in funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.
