Additional info
The newly released uP_running Observatory is an online platform in eight languages that records and displays ‘experiences’ related to APPR biomass from around the world. It includes field measurements of biomass potential from APPR biomass, mechanised pruning collection examples and existing commercial value chains.
Interested users can learn more about how much APPR biomass (tonnes per hectare) was produced in specific locations for different crop species; the performance of harvesting machines (how many tonnes per hour were collected); and existing APPR value chains in Europe. Ten of the existing APPR value chains have been selected as flagship cases – success factors and experiences will serve as a valuable lesson for imitation or improvement.

Assessment
This section contains a brief assessment of the FEFTS described.
There are 3 basic categories: General, Environmental and Socioeconomic assessment.
The purpose of this assessment is to give a quick overview to the potential FEFTS user of its application benefits.
For each question, the Likert scale is used with the following possible answers:
Strongly disagree, Disagree, Neither agree nor disagree (Neutral)/non applicable, Agree, Strongly agree
General
This FEFTS contributes to improve the energy profiles of farming systems:Environmental
The application of this FEFTS directly reduces fossil energy use, in terms of:- biomass for energy production
Socioeconomic
The application of this FEFTS contributes to cost reductions of farming systems:Keep in mind that this assessment is subjective, based on publicly available information.
All registered users are asked to evaluate each FEFTS and when an adequate number of reviews is gathered the results depicted here are updated. Each review is screened in order to avoid malicious practices.
FEFTS providers who do not agree with the assessment results, can send their inquiry to info@agrofossilfree.eu and a direct action based on their petition will be taken.
