Summary

This multi-author European collaborative review synthesises the policy landscape governing perennial biomass cropping systems across diverse national contexts. The work identifies institutional, regulatory, and economic factors affecting the integration of perennial crops into European farming and bioeconomy strategies, with implications for climate and land-use objectives.

UK applicability

Findings are directly applicable to UK policy development for perennial crop integration within the agricultural transition post-CAP reform. The comparative European perspective provides benchmarks for UK biomass and bioeconomy strategies.

Key measures

Policy frameworks, regulatory barriers, adoption drivers, institutional structures across European nations

Outcomes reported

The study examined policy ecosystems and barriers to perennial biomass crop deployment across multiple European countries. It likely assessed regulatory, economic, and institutional factors shaping adoption of perennial crops for energy and biomaterial production.
