The President of IFAPA, Ms. Marta Bosquet, former president of the Andalusian Parliament, has known firsthand at the IFAPA Camino del Purchil center the progress of the project in the year and a half of activity. After three hours of technical meeting and final visit to the demonstration plots, Marta Bosquet has known the scope of the project and the important role that IFAPA has played, plays and will play to build a value chain of structural technical wood in Andalusia with poplar as a driving species grown on agricultural land in the fertile plains of Granada and Andalusia.
Aspects such as establishing a long-term stable nursery of certified plant stock, research and transfer of new clones and management systems of poplar trees to produce quality wood, as well as the training of owners and farmers through collaboration with the Marjal group, have been considered essential to develop by IFAPA to ensure this ecosystem.
It has also stressed the importance of working on other aspects such as the promotion of aid to owners of poplar groves and the need for research into new structural products based on the veneer by unrolling through a new scientific infrastructure in collaboration with the University of Granada. Marta Bosquet has known firsthand the countless environmental benefits provided by poplar trees, especially in its role of filtering and natural purification of wastewater, aquifer recharge with clean water, and mitigation of climate change and buffering pollution.
The Civitas-UGR Chair presented yesterday afternoon the book “Trends and innovation in sustainable construction”, in an event led by the director of the Chair, Mercedes García de Quesada. The presentation was held at the Royal Hospital, headquarters of the Rectorate of the University of Granada.
The Poplar Producers Association of Granada Marjal offers this weekend a course on management of vegetation cover in poplar groves for soil regeneration and improving biodiversity and productivity. This program, open to all interested parties and free of charge, will be taught by permaculture expert Radko Tichalvsky at the headquarters of the Institute of Agricultural and Fisheries Training and Research (IFAPA) of the Junta de Andalucía (Camino de Purchil s / n) on Friday November 15 from 16.30 to 18.30 hours. On Saturday, November 16, a practical training will take place in several poplar groves in the Vega de Granada.
The visit to the wooden structures of the Alhambra and the Palacio de los Vargas in Granada, led by Ignacio Arto, professor at the University of Granada, has put the finishing touch to the M5 training module on durability, protection, diagnosis and rehabilitation given by the spinoff Iberolam Timber Technology, created for the transfer of the LIFE Wood for Future project.
The coordinator of the LIFE Wood for Future project, Antolino Gallego, participated last Thursday, November 7, in a Bioeconomy conference organized by the Málaga Provincial Council at La Noria, a social innovation center located in the capital of Málaga. Professor Gallego presented the talk "Structural bioproducts made in Andalucía" within the Bioproducts and Circularity panel.
