Circular Biobased Europe Joint Undertaking: driving innovations towards sustainable agriculture and growth in rural areas
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) is a public-private partnership that supports research and innovation fostering the transition towards a competitive, sustainable, and low-carbon economy in Europe. CBE JU and its projects represent a significant business opportunity for the primary sector, and in particular for farmers. The deployment of circular bio-based innovations can help diversify farmers’ activities and generate new sources of income. Since 2022, about 130 million euros have been made available by CBE JU to develop bio-based solutions with the potential to support sustainable agricultural practices and boost rural economies. In addition, 84 entities from the primary sector are participating in CBE JU projects. The manuscript aims at analysing the major findings associated with primary producer involvement in the CBE JU programme and elaborate on the specific actions undertaken to ensure that the primary sector can benefit from participating in innovative bio-based value chains.
