Details of 2nd JTF bioeconomy Call announced

The Call will support the development of bioeconomy piloting and demonstration projects in the wider midlands area. Proposals are being sought to support the bio-based sector to become climate neutral and sustainable with enhanced circularity, while remaining competitive on the global market. Funding will support close collaboration between stakeholders along the entire bio-based value chain.

To facilitate increased understanding and awareness of the bioeconomy in Ireland, the Department has commissioned a Bioeconomy in Action video series. This series features three unique case studies of the bioeconomy in action in Ireland, demonstrating how the bioeconomy is creating new value chains for farmers and agri-food businesses, empowering communities, and offering sustainable choices to consumers.
