CBE JU invites stakeholders to apply to the working group on primary producers, a new initiative focused on addressing challenges faced by primary producers in implementing circular bio-based solutions.

- Ensure that primary sectors benefit from the economic, social, and environmental opportunities offered by circular and bio-based innovations.
