The European Federation of Soil and Water Bioengineering EFIB is the organization of Soil and Water Bioengineering (SWB) associations, companies and friends of the SWB.
The Federation aims for the development and advancement of SWB bioengineering discipline, a Biology-oriented Engineering, in which native plants and plant fragments are used as living building material which together with the improvement of soil quality can significantly contribute to human safety and face all forms of erosion. In other words, Bioengineering is a discipline that uses plants as element of environmental construction and reconstruction.
Thus, the term “engineering” refers to “the use of well-established technical and scientific solutions for building, stabilization and erosion control deriving from civil and geotechnical engineering. The term “bio” is related both “to the nature of the building materials used , native plants with appropriate biotechnical characteristics, and to the purpose of rebuilding ecosystems and increasing biodiversity.
EFIB was founded in 1995 to coordinate and advance the dissemination of knowledge and experience of its members.
