BIOPLAT participates in the first national meeting of AGROALNEXT
On 1 October we participated in the first national meeting of AGROALNEXT, an R&D&I programme financed by Next Generation EU funds and the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities. Agroalnext aims to promote the double transformation, digital and sustainable, of the agri-food sector, in order to increase its competitiveness and achieve the climate and environmental objectives set in the Green Pact, while ensuring the supply of healthy, safe, sustainable and accessible food to the population, as pursued by the EU Farm to Fork Strategy.
The event presented the progress, milestones and results obtained in the numerous R&D projects that are being carried out with the support of research bodies and technology centres in Aragon, Asturias, Navarra, Valencia, Extremadura, La Rioja and Murcia, the seven autonomous communities participating in the programme.
Margarita de Gregorio, secretary general of BIOPLAT , took part in the round table on circular economy, which detailed different examples of the recovery of by-products aimed at obtaining high-value biomaterials and composites.
The secretaria de Estado de Agricultura, Pesca y Alimentación, la directora general de Transferencia de Conocimiento, regional representatives, directors general and directors of research centres highlighted the importance of modernisation, digitisation and collaboration to boost knowledge transfer and face the challenges of the agri-food sector in the coming years.
