Abstract

GO-GRASS demonstration results show the importance of supportive business environments that foster innovative, grass-based business. The four business cases have
the potential to deliver improved policies for rural development and rural jobs. The White Paper shows that readiness level of some of these initiatives is above technology
readiness level (TRL) 7 and that significant market breakthrough requires adequate funding, rules and regulations that do not hinder opportunities, and mechanisms that
valorise additional benefits such as carbon sequestration.

Policy makers can stimulate grassland valorisation and foster new opportunities for farmers and rural businesses by securing grasslands functions as a sustainable source
of raw materials, a space for social, organisation and business innovations, and an important contributor to carbon removal and climate change mitigation.
