University of Florence, Department of agricultural, foodstuff and forestry systems management
The Ente Cassa di Risparmio di Firenze has funded a research fellowship for the Department of Agricultural, Foodstuff and Forestry Systems Management (Dipartimento di Gestione dei Sistemi Agrari, Alimentari e Forestali) of the University of Florence. The objective is to contribute to the development of an important branch of research aimed at the study and use of biomass, based on the development of local chains of forestry biomass for the production of energy in Tuscany.
These are the foundations underlying the creation of the iBioNet centre, an international monitoring network on forestry-energy biomass systems, the main purpose of which is to foster the development of local forestry-energy biomass projects in the areas of Tuscany, Liguria, Sardinia and Corsica.
