Learn all about European small-forest owners in our brand new video and how, with the right target-oriented management tools, they have the potential to significantly contribute to safeguarding biodiversity and enhancing ecosystem services.
In October last year, project partners got together in Palencia, Castilla Y Leon, hosted by our Spanish partners. Over the course of the two and a half days, members of the project were able to visit our living lab (LL) south to meet and learn about local small-scale forestry from the forest owners themselves, catch-up on project progress, and finally to engage in synergies with our sister project SMURF. Learn more about our meeting here.
We seized the opportunity to film our site visits and interview our WP leaders so that you can actually come with us and see what we do as well as learn more about our progress and what we plan on doing in this project.
Our project aims to help small forest owners implement multifunctional management and business models supported by digital and AI-driven solutions. The project promotes biodiversity and carbon farming through payment for ecosystem services schemes, engaging these smallholders in active forest management. Small4Good’s approach involves understanding the motivations of small forest owners and developing business and management models through a multi-actor living lab approach across Europe, promoting rapid prototyping and implementing realistic, locally adapted pathways towards multifunctionality.
These would put small forest owners on a pathway towards sustainable and multifunctional management, which would be a basis for a fair and inclusive transition to the bioeconomy.
