Cover Story: Agroforestry residual biomass must be considered an available resource and can be valued. In addition to the resolution of environmental problems often associated with the disposal of this waste, this perspective, through the use of less environmentally friendly practices, such as the burning of waste, also allows the creation of local value chains. In addition to solving environmental problems, a proper circular bioeconomy system is created, contributing to sustainable rural development. View this paper
