The INCREDIBLE thematic network, active in seven Mediterranean countries, aims to facilitate regional and trans-regional cooperation, knowledge exchange and innovation among stakeholders in five non-wood forest products (NWFPs): cork, resin, aromatic & medicinal plants, wild mushrooms & truffles and wild nuts & berries. In 2018, five scoping seminars identified the priority issues of each NWFP. These issues are the main topics of the local and interregional knowledge exchange activities. Their objective is to share solutions among actors and to transfer them trans-regionally. This exchanged knowledge, as well as any information with the potential to improve NWFPs management that deserves broader dissemination, is collected in the online Knowledge Repository for NWFPs. INCREDIBLE also addresses cross-sectoral issues and brings in relevant knowledge and practices beyond NWFPs that could solve issues around territorial marketing, innovative business models and ICT tools. Adopting an active and problem-solving attitude, INCREDIBLE supports the transformation of business ideas into innovative products, processes and social innovations by offering tailored training courses. Finally, in 2020, the Policy Forum on Governance of Wild NWFPs in Europe will generate policy recommendations at the EU and national levels to improve the governance of NWFPs. Globally, INCREDIBLE is setting up a scenario where Mediterranean stakeholders can learn about solutions to their problems that have already been developed by other communities or actors.
