Foresting Tomorrow #41 | AI forestry machines, sound-optimised fan zones, and the EUDR saga continues
Description
We start with the gift that keeps on giving: the EUDR. Parliament and Council are now mostly aligned on a major revision - postponements for all, simplified due diligence, and a lighter process for small forest owners and farmers. But what actually happens next? We untangle the latest twists in the regulatory saga and look at what might be under the tree (or missing) before New Year’s Eve.
Then we head to Canada, where a timber shell roof is solving a major World Cup problem - too much noise. Vancouver’s new fan zone boasts the world’s largest timber arch roof, designed not just for aesthetics and sustainability, but also to reflect sound inward instead of disturbing the neighbourhood.
Also in this episode:
- Sweden’s autonomous forest robot ‘AORO’ gets trained in the Unity game engine
- Why you shouldn’t confuse cats with logs
- A warm-up for next week’s guest episode with Peter Hasulyó from ForestryBrief
A relaxed December episode with robots, real wood, and regulatory déjà vu. Plus a short debate on coffee and whether 42 is really the answer to everything.
Foresting Tomorrow is a weekly podcast hosted by Jens Isbak, Rasmus Pedersen, and Benjamin Lauridsen.
