Some work days are more interesting than others! As the sun sets on our first annual @ruralbiorefarm.bsky.social meeting at the eternal city of Rome, here’s hoping we can build a strong European #bioeconomy that stands the test of time - just like the Colosseum 🇮🇹🇪🇺☘️ @mtu.ie , @biorbic.bsky.social
