During the meeting, participants agreed that such stakeholder sessions should take place at least once or twice per semester (every six months) to ensure regular information exchange and joint problem-solving. It was also recalled that the first project event in Riga brought together industry representatives in a broader format, demonstrating growing interest in agricultural-based building materials. This time, the discussions continued in a more focused group, analyzing the practical and policy prerequisites for the sector\u2019s development.<\/p>\n<p><\/p><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class='vc-content vc-paragraph' id=''><p><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"126\" data-end=\"374\">Sustainable construction expert J\u0101nis Butkevi\u010ds presented the latest developments related to the European Union\u2019s climate goals and the new Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, which Member States must implement by May 2026. He emphasized that the European Commission increasingly highlights bio-based products, yet specific regulations that would facilitate their introduction to the market are still lacking.<\/p>\n<p><\/p><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class='vc-highlighted-text' id=''><p><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAll the necessary prerequisites for the development of the agro construction industry in Latvia already exist \u2013 we have the knowledge, potential, and resources. However, there is a need for instruments and incentives, including solutions at the policy planning and regulatory levels,\u201d noted Butkevi\u010ds.<\/p>\n<p><\/p><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class='vc-content vc-paragraph' id=''><p><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"881\" data-end=\"1155\">He also reminded that biomaterials are not only wood, but also straw, hemp, and other crops capable of significantly reducing the construction sector\u2019s carbon footprint by sequestering CO\u2082 in building structures and reducing dependence on fossil resources. Such an approach creates new economic opportunities for farmers, manufacturers, and regional development as a whole.<\/p>\n<p><\/p><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class='vc-content vc-paragraph' id=''><p><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"120\" data-end=\"358\">Ebbing Klaas Osinga presented his perspective on the development of value chains \u2013 from agriculture to building construction, emphasizing that interest in the use of hemp and straw is currently growing rapidly across Europe. He highlighted the experience of the Netherlands, where miscanthus is even used in asphalt production. According to Osinga, Latvia should introduce a similar program as soon as possible, since market trends clearly indicate a growing demand for bio-based solutions in the construction sector.<\/p>\n<p><\/p><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class='vc-highlighted-text' id=''><p><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"127\" data-end=\"243\">Dagnija Lazdi\u0146a, leading researcher at the Latvian State Forest Research Institute \u201cSilava\u201d, acknowledged: \u201cAt the moment, we are facing a lack of system readiness \u2013 our foundation is not adapted to alternative solutions, as the necessary documentation and certification tools are not in place.\u201d In her view, without parallel work on developing the certification process, it will be very difficult to introduce new practices in real life.<\/p>\n<p><\/p><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class='vc-content vc-paragraph' id=''><p><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"131\" data-end=\"347\">During the discussion, participants emphasized that the lack of standards is currently the biggest challenge \u2013 while such standards exist for timber materials, they are still missing for other biomaterials. However, an important question was also raised \u2013 are standards even necessary, or should new, more flexible approaches be explored instead? The participants agreed on the need for broader public and industry education to raise awareness about the potential of alternative crops \u2013 such as hemp, straw, and grasses \u2013 and their integration into construction processes. They also highlighted the importance of developing a pilot project as the next step, which would help test these ideas in practice and complete the value chain of biomaterials.<\/p>\n<p><\/p><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class='vc-content vc-paragraph' id=''><p><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"140\" data-end=\"181\">Project expert Liene Kli\u0161\u0101ne noted: \u201cIt is encouraging to see that several entrepreneurs in Latvia have already been active in the agro construction sector for years, producing building materials from hemp, straw, and reeds. Listening to the experience from the Netherlands, it becomes clear that, in many ways, we are still at the beginning of this journey. The development of the sector requires investment in companies, increased production volumes, and market growth. This process could be accelerated through public procurement by the state and municipalities, similar to how it has been done in the field of organic food for the public sector. The ABC project\u2019s networking event is an excellent platform to identify current challenges \u2013 including those related to legislation \u2013 and to look for future solutions in agro construction. We are on the path toward a more ecological environment, both for homes and public buildings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/p><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class='vc-content vc-paragraph' id=''><p><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"75\" data-end=\"265\">At the conclusion of the meeting, Project Manager Inguna Ku\u010dina encouraged participants to continue the work that has been started and to think about initiatives at the national level: \u201cIt is important not only to discuss, but also to develop concrete proposals that would help Latvia make use of its potential in bioeconomy and sustainable construction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/p><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On October 28 in Valmiera, at the Rietumvidzeme Regional Client Centre of LVM, the Vidzeme Planning Region, in cooperation with the New Building School (JBS), organized the second stakeholder meeting of the project \u201cAgro Building Carbon (ABC)\u201d.<br \/>\nDuring the meeting, experts, entrepreneurs, and researchers discussed the potential and challenges of using agricultural-based building materials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":50,"featured_media":74602,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[208],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74636","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entrepreneurship-and-innovation","featured_category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 -
