The 1^st meeting of the Italian Forest and Agriculture Network (FAN) was held online on 18^th March 2024. It gathered together 7 participants from public authorities, farmers´ organisations/associations, farm networks, universities and research organisations. During the 2-hour meeting organised by CREA, the Italian Research Centre for Agricultural Policies and Bioeconomy, the participants were presented with the activities envisioned in BBioNets, and were asked to identify and prioritise primary or secondary resources available in the country, processing equipment and secondary products/by-products. Finally, based on their own experience, participants gave their opinion on whether or not farmers and foresters are willing to invest in innovative Bio-Based Technologies (BBTs).
