Transnational technological report of remote sensing technologies for monitoring of wild animals, is out! 🤜🤛 https://forum.biobord.eu/t/remote-sensing-for-monitoring-of-wild-animals/2195 Since October 2020, the #ConnectedByBiobord project partners Institute for Environmental Solutions, JAMK University of Applied Sciences, Høgskolen i Innlandet and PRO Civis have been collaborating to develop new technological approaches for monitoring of large-bodied wild animals and free-ranging live-stock. As a part of this process, the partners reviewed existing capabilities of various remote sensing technologies and assessed their potential for monitoring of large-bodied wild animals, free-ranging livestock and their habitat. The partners explored existing and future challenges of #wildlifemonitoring and management in the Baltic Sea Region context; reviewed and assessed currently used approaches and methods for monitoring of wild animals, free ranging livestock and their habitats; collected and conducted analysis of stakeholder needs in every partner country, identified opportunities for the development of innovative, #technology-based solutions for monitoring of large-bodied wild animals, free-ranging livestock and their habitats. The study focused on dominant, large-bodied ungulate species in the countries of Baltic Sea Region and Norway, including elk (Alces alces), red deer (Cervus elaphus), roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), reindeer (Rangifer tarandus), and wild boar (Sus scrofa); free-ranging livestock and semi-domestic reindeer (Rangifer tarandus), and effective and remote data acquisition technologies with minimal human involvement from a data acquisition perspective. The Technological Report will be further exploited to design and conduct technological piloting and demonstration activities in Latvia, Norway and Finland with a purpose to test the application of various technologies and tools in practice.

Upcoming field demonstration plans of the #ConnectedByBiobord-project, being presented to regional stakeholders by JAMK University of Applied Sciences 🤩 The aim of the field demonstration events in Latvia, Finland and in Norway, is to test the applicability of drones for the wild ungulate population as well as browsing damage estimation in a certain territory. Demonstrations are being conducted in transnational co-operation by: JAMK, Institute for Environmental Solutions and Høgskolen i Innlandet. Findings will be presented on the open #Biobord forum.

Forest sector technology analysis is here! 🧐 As a part of the In the #ConnectedByBiobord -project, transnational forest innovation -group has performed an analysis of technology and data flow in the forest value chain. The analysis forms the basis for the further work with the industry stakeholders and a base for upcoming Forest Hackathon.

📣

Half way there! 🤜🤛 Interreg Baltic Sea Region project ConnectedByBiobord started in October 2020 and now we are already in the half way of the implementation 😮 Here is what we have accomplished during last months: * Scopes and approached defined for the three thematic pilots (food, forest and technology) by the transnational teams of #ConnectedByBiobord 🧐 Food innovation pilot focuses on solving five common challenges within alternative proteins and functional foods. Check out our upcoming Food Hack by Biobord-event, where these challenges are solved: https://www.facebook.com/events/1802677066563447/ Forest innovation pilot focuses to find gaps and potentials from the wood value chain from forest stand to end-user products. A transnational #hackathon will be hosted to solve recognized challenges in April 2021. Technology innovation pilot has decided to study the use of #drone technology for data production for monitoring of wildlife, also in the transnational context. After careful data collection, it is time to test out selected methods in practice 🤩 * The aim of the innovation pilots is to design and test practices for building co-creation dialogue and develop open innovations in the transnational context. Process started right away in the beginning of the project when jointly agreed #innovation process was outlined. Next step is to plan the evaluation of the selected process and used innovation methods, and to collect and analyze the data. * ConnectedByBiobord team has also started the process of Operating Model version 4.0.

Experiences from #Interreg projects! 😊 #MadewithInterreg

Food Hack by #Biobord challenges are here! 🧐 On March 11th and 12th Alternative proteins and functional foods themed Food Hack by Biobord will unite transnational team of experts and hackers together to collaborate on the #food #innovation challenges (5), where each participant will have their own role in making the ideas come to life. While SMEs will share their needs and challenges, the external experts will work as advisors of the hackers and give their insights to develop innovations. If you find these challenges interesting and would like to join the hackathon, please visit: https://forum.biobord.eu/t/save-the-date-food-hack-by-biobord-11-03-12-03-2021/2040/5 Challenges are: 1. How to share and exchange expertise knowledge ? 🧑‍🏫 How can different stakeholders working on similar challenges share their knowledge and expertise in a creative and constructive way? What do the channels of information look like today and how can we improve them? In what way can we gain access to process and technology know-how? Today and in the future? 2. Finding new and different strategies for marketing healthy and nutritious food 📣 What kind of marketing strategies, for example nudging, can be used to increase consumption of healthier and more nutritious innovative food products that are beneficial, attractive, and affordable, thus more sustainable for the planet, businesses and the individual? What technical solutions could benefit healthy food choices? 3. Changing the perception of plant-based protein🌱 What strategies can be built to change our perception of plant-based proteins as a direct alternative to a particular dish (sausage, hamburger) and instead of modifying the structure of the product to see it as a stand-alone protein source? What would we call these products and how would they be marketed? 4. Transforming the attitude towards new products, including protein from insects and insects as food 🦗 What would happen if we placed the insect food product in a different context (environment, tradition, or culture)? How do we design the “insect food experience” to attract new markets? What marketing strategies can be explored to design the insect food experience? In which context, tradition or culture could the insects fit in? 5. Exploration of new protein resources 🤯 What could be the new alternative protein sources? Where can we obtain knowledge about such raw materials and how should this information be made available? This is a great way to success in the developing of new products and bring them all the way from the first idea to finished product on the market. It is time to collaborate and network! This event is part of the Interreg Baltic Sea Region project ConnectedByBiobord that aims to promote smart and #sustainable growth on the Baltic Sea region by connecting #bioeconomy developers around #BSR.
