Kontext
The Circular Economy Strategy, and the Climate Change and Energy Transition Bill, the current and future agreements of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change aim to take the lead in achieving a low-carbon economy where the forestry sector is indispensable and irreplaceable in its role as a carbon sink.
A new EU regulation on deforestation-free products will require companies marketing commodities, including wood and wood-based products such as furniture, to know where they come from, for which digitisation and geo-referencing of sustainable forests will be key.
The importance of generational change through investment in digitisation, technification, professionalisation and advice for young people so that they see this forestry activity as more attractive, supporting sustainability based on the bioeconomy and guaranteeing a rejuvenation of the rural world.
This volume and type of information requires efficient control and management in order to enhance the value of forest management and provide society and consumers with data in real time.
