Protecting biodiversity.
Unlocking
sustainable value.
BIOCHAIN connects Greece and Italy to preserve plant biodiversity and support the sustainable use of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants and Non-Wood Forest Products through research, pilot actions and digital innovation.
About BIOCHAIN
A cross-border chain of knowledge, nature and innovation
The project brings together public authorities, universities and research organisations to strengthen biodiversity preservation while creating responsible opportunities around local bioresources.
Preserve regional biodiversity
Support in-situ and ex-situ conservation, monitoring and climate resilience.
Valorise MAPs and NWFPs
Connect research results with agriculture, apiculture, aquaculture and local economies.
Open knowledge and digital tools
Build accessible data, scientific workflows and an AI-enhanced cross-border platform.
Core pillars
From biodiversity to practical impact
