130 Recommendations for wood In the case of wood, our recommendations concern the collection and the organization of the transport flows. In the basic scenario, the ambition is to collect and process 500 tons of wood per year. The maximum use scenario is based on 1,000 tons a year, while the intensification scenario assumes a volume of 2,000 tons. The authors’ recommendations are: • The transport flows should be coordinated. The combination of transport and processing will serve to reduce costs. A coordinator, elsewhere. • The use of the German ‘WallS’ registration system may prove useful, in combination with the development of landscape manageor ‘wood steward’ could be appointed to for this purpose. He should be aware of the current supply of wood trimmings at any given moment, whereupon he will be able to advise the relevant parties of the most efficient transport and processing routes. • Local use of wood trimmings should be encouraged. Small-scale combustion is one option. The wood could also be supplied to the ment plans. • As wood prices rise, further expansion of the wood stock (within the framework of the Landscape Development Plan) is an option worth considering. New coppices can be laid out in a way that facilitates the harvesting and collection of wood at low cost. • A potential investment portfolio should be developed, to include investments designed to promote sustainable development throughFund The following recommendations are made with regard to the further development of the Fund concept. out the Food Valley. Examples of potential investments include: • Sustainable accommodation for animals in combination with farm fermenters, perhaps connected to a biogas transport pipeline. • The resultant investment portfolio forms the basis of a thorough risk analysis. • Cofermentation systems using manure and vegetable matter (e.g. grass clippings) with a digestate separator. • A draft prospectus should be produced for presentation to the various potential financiers (such as the National Green Fund), investors and the fund manager in order to establish the level of commitment. regional bio-generation plant to be built in Ede. Local actors should be given assistance in developing local projects, the condition being that every project initiator is in some way involved in landscape management activities. Inspiration can be drawn from successful projects such as those in the Steinfurt region (Germany) and Beetsterzwaag (Friesland), to which visits could be organized. • Wood trimmings should no longer be left in situ; wherever possible the wood should be chipped or bundled, and transported for use Pagina 140
