Subgroup 2 Renewable forest resources:Providing competitative goods for manufacturing Themes 4. Forest trees for the future 5. Re-engineering wood supply 6. New market strategies for non-wood forest products (NWFP)
Theme 4 Forest trees for the future • Identification of superior genotypes for propagation in various genera • Functional analysis of genes, and studies of molecular processes, determining wood and fibre properties • Genetic engineering of growth and wood properties • Elucidating dependency of wood quality on genes, growth regulators and environmental parameters • Functional analysis of genes, and studies of molecular processes, controlling pest and disease resistance, water and nutritional biologi for increased survival and growth • Technology for mass propagation through sexual and vegetative methods
Theme 4 Innovation • Breakthroughs in increased production of biomass • Production of trees with wood quality for different use of wood raw materials • Increased economic yield • Increased resilience and reduced vulnerability for trees to hazards, pests and diseases • Adaptive regeneration material to climate change • 0.5% annual increase in productivity of the improved seed sources
Theme 5 Re-engineering wood supply • Tailoring raw-materials for end-products • Efficient and enivironmenal friendly forest operations • Supply chain management
Theme 5 Innovation • Significant improvement of utilising and adapting raw materials for end-products • Significant productivity increase and reduction of environmental drawbacks of forest operations systems • New and integrated supply chain management -- ”the digital information chain” • New designed operations for increased use of forest biomass for energy and new products
Theme 6 New market strategies for non-wood forest products (NWFP) • Identification of potential markets for NWFP • Management, utilisation, transforming and marketing NWFP • Develop new business and market models for NWFP, including incentives, information & education • Implementation, social and legal aspects
Theme 6 Innovation • Providing forest owners with new income opportunities • New bio-based products for the consumer • Exploring NFWPs for a healthier society • Changing the behaviour of new generations through increased understanding of SFM
