ChallengesWhat are the problems faced by the industry in this area?Imprecise and spatially weak forest inventory information, and difficulty in operationalizing remote sensing and lidar dataHow to foster diverse fibre usage and resilient fibre supply to mitigate decreasing AAC and tailor usage to emerging bioeconomyLack of markets to utilize the entire fibre basketSector ability to lead in low carbon economy is limited by the amount of economical fibre availableUnderutilized and low value sources of fibre may be keyClimate change and its impacts (e.g., pest, wildfire, drought) negatively affect fibre availability and qualityActionsWhat does FPInnovations do to address the challenges?Accelerate responsive remote sensing and fibre inventory solutionsDevelop an analytical platform to evaluate a wide range of fibre supply, demand, and intensification strategiesReduce cost of harvesting and collection of biomassImprove biomass and residues supply and logisticBiomass supply chain integration
