REGBIO2B investigates regional bio-value creation networks in Brandenburg with specific challenges (large farm structures, low-yield soils, social challenges, lack of processing and marketing facilities). The project aims to examine the potential, strengths, and weaknesses of regional bio-networks and to identify solutions. Four questions are being explored: 1. Which opportunities arise from regional bio-networks for the establishment of a circular economy? 2. What are the conditions for consolidated and sustainable networks under these particular farm structures? 3. What are the social implications for cohesion in Brandenburg? 4. What factors promote or hinder the expansion of organic farming in a network approach? The project investigates for the first time both the material and social aspects of regional bio-networks, involving practical partners and promoting the capacities and competencies of relevant stakeholders. The results of the project are of great importance for the transformation of agriculture in various state strategies and other governance levels.
