Alongside the practical and environmental work with the wool, a theoretical approach will aim to change the discourse on how resource utilisation leverages a more sustainable future. The team also has access to an international pool of experts within the fields the call addresses, with the potential for impact beyond Norway and Poland. Beyond the call themes, the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals are at the core of the project.

Project Woolume aims to “up the volume” for best practices to enhance biodiversity and carbon sequestering, alongside economic gain, in a low-income agricultural region. The consortium leverages research, education and business in a complimentary triangle where complimentary competences are the key to the project’s success.
