Munich – Europe has more than 117 million hectares of forest, but the sustainable utilisation especially in privately owned woods falls short of its potential. The ever-increasing demand for wood for material and energy applications is becoming more and more difficult to meet. In response, the EU project SIMWOOD (Sustainable Innovative Mobilisation of Wood) was recently launched with the aim of promoting a more efficient use of the available supply of wood and bolster Europe's forestry and wood industry. The EU is funding the project with about EUR 6 million over a four-year period.

The Soil Management Group of the Public University of Navarre is participating alongside INTIA and Fundagro (Foundation for Rural Development in Navarre) in the European LIFE project RegaDIOX. The main aim is to design, test and disseminate the impact that can be exerted by an improved model of sustainable management of irrigation farming with respect to CO2 capture and GHG emissions.
