Interaction and stakeholder work in a research project on sustainable bioeconomy and climate change mitigation

We coordinated stakeholder interaction and communications in the research project, “New agricultural and forest soil cultivation and management methods – key to a sustainable bioeconomy and climate change mitigation” (SOMPA).

The goal of the project was to develop cost-effective, feasible, and sustainable methods for reducing emissions from cultivation on peatlands and from peatland forestry, methods that farmers and forest owners would be willing to adopt.

We organized workshops and events where we brought various stakeholders and researchers together to build mutual understanding and dialogue. In addition, we worked together to find means, methods, and cooperation models that would yield emission reductions and be mutually beneficial.

Furthermore, we communicated the project’s research results and current topics on the project’s website and social media, and summarized the project’s main findings into policy recommendations.
