The INCREDIBLE Policy Forum, taking place on 16 and 17 March 2021, will discuss the actions needed to position NWFP (non-wood forest products) as a pillar of Europe's bioeconomy. The Forum is addressed to EU, national, regional and local policy makers and key stakeholders in NWFP value chains (associations of forest owners, producers and processors, consumer organisations, industries, NGOs, public institutions, etc.).

The Forum is co-organised by the European Forest Institute (EFI [1]), leading the H2020 INCREDIBLE  project consortium, and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO [2]), with the support of FoReSTAS [3] (regional Foresta Agency for Land and the Environment of Sardinia) and the Cesefor [4]Foundation.

This virtual event will serve as an opportunity to consider the salient issues for NWFP policies and enrich a white paper on policy priorities for non-wood forest products in Europe [5]. This document has been developed within the framework of the INCREDIBLE project, with peer review from the IUFRO task force on Non-timber forest products [6] and other leading experts. As well, a draft of the Manifesto of Alghero [7] will be presented.
