EU CAP Network Focus Group. 'Innovative and sustainable ways to strengthen the role of farmers in revitalising the European wool value chain
Abstract
This report presents the main activities and results of the EU CAP Network Focus Group on innovative and sustainable ways to strengthen the role of farmers in revitalising the European wool value chain. It highlights the fragmentation of the European wool sector, low returns for farmers, gaps in collection and processing infrastructure, and weaknesses in coordination and market access. The report identifies five strategic priorities: investment in infrastructure, stronger skills and training, improved traceability and identity for European wool, support for innovation in traditional and new applications, and stronger networking across Europe. It also identifies research needs and opportunities for EIP-AGRI Operational Groups and other innovative projects aimed at developing more resilient, circular and farmer-centred wool value chains.
