Topic
Circular Economy and the Valorisation of Mediterranean By-products and Local Resources
The Mediterranean region offers a wide range of agricultural by-products and local natural resources with significant potential for new uses and applications. Through innovation and circular economy approaches, these resources can be transformed into new products, generating added value, reducing waste and contributing to more sustainable production systems.
This webinar will showcase innovative projects and practical experiences from different Mediterranean countries, highlighting how local resources and agricultural by-products can be valorised to create new opportunities for agriculture and rural areas.
Objectives
The webinar aims to:
Give visibility to innovative projects and good practices focused on the valorisation of agricultural by-products and local resources.
Highlight the contribution of circular economy approaches to more sustainable production systems.
Foster knowledge exchange among Mediterranean countries.
Share practical and transferable solutions that create added value from local resources.
Promote discussion on the potential of innovation and circular economy to support sustainable agriculture and rural development across the Mediterranean.
The webinar is part of the “Seeds of the Mediterranean” series, created to strengthen collaboration among Mediterranean countries and to showcase innovative initiatives capable of addressing shared agricultural and rural development challenges.
