100 best practices and digital innovations for sustainable forestry
Virtual forests, smart harvesting machines, e-commerce platforms, apps and educational tools… the digital revolution is rapidly transforming sustainable forestry and forest industries. Over the last two years, ROSEWOOD4.0 has been building on this trend to strengthen the sustainability of forest resilience and wood mobilisation in Europe through knowledge exchange, transfer of best practices and becoming another powerful voice of this digital revolution in the forestry sector.
The consortium of this Horizon2020 project, in which the European Forest Institute (EFI) is an active member, has recently produced a report documenting a selection of 100 best practices and innovations in forest management, wood supply and forest-based industries exploiting relevant digital technologies and industry 4.0 solutions.
The ROSEWOOD4.0 team represents a living community of 21 organisations from 17 countries, organised in five European Regional Hubs which reach out to an even larger group of local stakeholders. The different categories and types of solutions that have been jointly identified by the hubs are described and their relevance for wood mobilisation in Europe is pointed out. The best practices and innovations' factsheets are published in the ROSEWOOD4.0 Knowledge Platform for Regional Forest Innovation, which is an open, multilingual repository created by the consortium to enable the widest possible dissemination of results.
The complete selection with links to all online factsheets are included in this new report. Spreading this knowledge in Europe will help practitioners and professionals to gain a better understanding of how the digital transformation in forestry can improve sustainable forest management and ecosystem resilience and thus benefit a more competitive forest-based sector in rural regions.
