Donation. Includes bibliographical references (p. 73-78). Introduction -- Overview of the principal uses of non-wood forest products -- Non-wood forest products assets for sustainable livelihoods -- Non-wood forest products value chains -- Strategies for successful non-wood forest products trade -- Support and services to help promote non-wood forest products -- Opportunities and challenges. Non-wood forest products comprise a wide range of forest goods, providing traditional sources of food, fodder, fertilizer, fiber, medicine, organic construction materials and cultural products, as well as raw industrial materials, making valuable socio-economic, cultural and ecological contributions. This booklet describes how such products are used to meet basic subsistence needs, and the role they can play in income generation through local, regional and international trade. It also identifies additional sources of information, technical support and websites.--Publisher's description |
