In order to do so, it will boost the development of value chains and grassroots solutions through a circular approach that will encourage the use of local resources and the diversification of farmers&#8217; income.<\/p>\n<p>This initiative, which has received \u20ac9 million in funding from the European Union&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/programmes\/horizon2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Horizon 2020<\/a> research and innovation programme, involves a total of 13 European and 12 African organisations. Barcelona Plataforma Empresarial, Corporaci\u00f3n Tecnol\u00f3gica de Andaluc\u00eda (CTA), and SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS are the Spanish partners of <strong>BIO4AFRICA<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Methodology<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>In order to achieve this, BIO4AFRICA will establish four pilot cases in <strong>Uganda, Ghana, Senegal, and Ivory Coast<\/strong> with eight testbeds, and it will involve over 300 farmers. This will improve the environmental, economic, and social performance of their agri-food systems.<\/p>\n<p>The combination of African and European partners in the consortium will allow a strong collaboration between multiple stakeholders from rural communities and the Government, promoting the construction of sustainable value chains that allow the introduction of bio-based approaches and technologies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Project approach<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>The African continent will need to feed more than two billion people in 2050 as it faces unprecedented demographic, socio-economic, environmental, and climatic transitions. In this context, ensuring food security is essential, and the bioeconomy can play a leading role.<\/p>\n<p>The bioeconomy uses the renewable bio-based resources of the land and sea to produce food, materials and energy. The European Commission is strongly promoting its development due to its potential to generate wealth and employment in a sustainable way.<\/p>\n<p>The project&#8217;s impact indicators are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the 2030 Agenda, mainly related to quality employment and gender equality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":39324,"template":"","categorias-noticias":[],"class_list":["post-47817","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>BIO4AFRICA, a new European project to support the deployment of the bioeconomy in Africa, kicks off - Corporaci\u00f3n Tecnol\u00f3gica de Andaluc\u00eda CTA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.corporaciontecnologica.com\/en\/noticias\/__trashed-1532\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"BIO4AFRICA, a new European project to support the deployment of the bioeconomy in Africa, kicks off\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The European project BIO4AFRICA has officially started, after holding an online kick-off meeting on June 22 and 23, with the aim to support the deployment of the bioeconomy in rural Africa.
