POPLAR CULTIVATION AS AN INNOVATIVE STRATEGY TO ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE THROUGH NEW CROPPING MODELS SUITABLE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF WOODY RAW MATERIALS FOR THE INDUSTRIAL AND ENERGY SECTORS

 JUNE 11 | 3:00 PM

Poplar wood-based supply chains and their derivatives represent a hallmark of Italian excellence in both the agricultural and industrial sectors, recognized internationally as well. Poplar cultivation provides high-quality raw material, supported by intensive clonal selection and the promotion of sound cultivation techniques. These techniques rely on significantly fewer external inputs compared to major agricultural crops that typically share the same growing areas. Producing wood also means sequestering atmospheric carbon, thereby contributing to key societal goals such as climate change mitigation and the environmental and landscape enhancement of rural areas. Among the viable approaches are agroforestry systems, which combine tree-based forestry crops with agricultural cultivation and/or livestock farming, thus creating multifunctional agricultural systems.

 The webinar is part of the training project “Towards Green Horizons”, organized within the framework of the excellence project D.I.Ve.r.So.
The Order of Agronomists and Foresters of Viterbo will grant 0.25 Professional Training Credits (CFP) for each seminar; the Territorial College of Graduate Agricultural Experts of the Province of Rome will grant 2 CFP per seminar; the National College of Agrotechnicians will also grant 2 CFP per seminar.
The training project counts toward the annual 40-hour training performance target outlined in the Directive of the Minister for Public Administration dated January 16, 2025. Credit recognition is subject to passing a final assessment test administered at the end of each event.
