Replication Hub

Tools and evidence to grow bio-based value chains on marginal land

What is the Replication Hub?

The MarginUp! Replication Hub is for farmers, bio-based businesses, researchers and policy-makers who want to make marginal land more productive and richer in biodiversity, supplying the circular bioeconomy without competing with food production.

Explore seven real-world use cases in Argentina, South Africa, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Spain and Sweden, and use our reports, infosheets, webinars and videos to replicate, adapt and apply these solutions in your own region.

Explore the use cases

Each use case shows the challenge, the solution tested, the stakeholders involved and its replication potential.
