The document evaluates Uruguay's forest sector development policy through a cost-benefit analysis. The policy, begun in 1987 with the Forestry Law, provided subsidies and tax breaks to promote forest plantations and wood industries. As a result, Uruguay's forest sector has grown rapidly, attracting foreign investment. The cost-benefit analysis found the policy had a positive net impact and economic benefits of US$615.4 million, indicating the successful forest policy allocated land to more productive uses while generating income, employment, and environmental benefits.
The document discusses the fixing of minimum support prices (MSP) for non-timber forest produces (NTFPs) in India. It notes that a committee recommended establishing a central agency to fix MSPs for 11 identified NTFPs collected by tribes, linked to wages, transportation and market costs. It also recommended state-level cooperatives acquire the products and NGOs provide training and awareness to tribes on sustainable harvesting and value addition.
Non-timber forest products and conservation: what prospects?CIFOR-ICRAF
Non-timber forest products have been hailed as a ‘silver bullet’ for sustainable development and forest conservation, because of the significance of forest products as both food and income for rural dwellers, but evidence from this presentation’s core study suggests that harvesting of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) is failing to meet goals for combining conservation and poverty alleviation. NTFPs can have a role in rural livelihoods, especially through multiple-use sustainable forestry projects, but these require long-term investments and complex co-management approaches. CIFOR scientist Terry Sunderland gave this presentation at the 49th Annual Meeting of the Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation, held in Bonito, Brazil on 19 June 2012.
This document provides an overview of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) from a national and international perspective. It defines NTFPs and provides a classification system categorizing them by plant or animal origin. The document discusses India's current NTFP scenario, national forest policy regarding NTFPs, issues in their management and marketing. It analyzes international trade data for several commodities, such as pine nuts, jujube fruits, mushrooms, oils, rattan, and bamboo. The document concludes by outlining constraints in NTFP marketing in India and their potential to provide sustainable incomes and livelihoods.

Towards the Improvement of National Forest Monitoring ApproachesCIFOR-ICRAF
This presentation, delivered at the International Workshop on Forest Carbon Emissions in Jakarta, examines the need to improve national forest monitoring approaches. CIFOR's Global Comparative Study and the importance of definition are discussed in the context of Indonesia.
This document summarizes a study exploring the interplay between forest conservation, food security, and commodity production in tropical forest landscapes. The study uses a nested, three-level design to examine three land use zones - forest, rubber agroforestry, and oil palm plantation - in Kapuas Hulu, Indonesia. Field methods include household surveys, biodiversity surveys, and assessments of ecosystem services, agriculture, livelihoods, and nutrition. The goal is to provide empirical evidence to inform debates around land sparing versus land sharing, and advance understanding of agricultural landscapes as socio-ecological systems. Preliminary results suggest that increasing agricultural production alone may not ensure food security or livelihoods.

Over 850 million people worldwide are undernourished and nearly 2 billion suffer from micronutrient deficiencies. Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest rates of undernourishment at over 17% of its population, while South and East Asia also have significant populations suffering from lack of food. Global population is projected to increase from 7 billion in 2010 to over 9 billion by 2050 and 10 billion by 2100, placing additional stress on food production. Agricultural practices must adapt to climate change through strategies like improved irrigation and more resilient crop varieties, while also pursuing mitigation efforts such as restoring degraded lands, to help ensure future global food security.
From the Amazon to the World: A Story of Brazil nutsCIFOR-ICRAF
Brazil nuts are harvested from giant trees in the Amazon rainforest, especially in Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru. In Peru, the government has established a concession system where families have rights to collect nuts from designated areas of forest. A scientist observed a 60-year-old woman's concession being harvested by a worker, counting the nuts extracted from fallen fruits to study the impact of selective timber logging on nut production. The worker sealed sacks of around 2,000 kilograms of shelled nuts to be transported from the forest for processing and international export.

Agrarian change in tropical forests: A change for the better?CIFOR-ICRAF
Agricultural expansion has resulted in losses to habitats, forests, ecosystems and biological diversity. Socio-ecological research methods were used to assess the livelihood impacts of agrarian change across the forest transition in six tropical landscapes in Zambia, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Indonesia and Bangladesh. Early findings suggest the transition from a forested landscape to a more agrarian-dominated system does not immediately result in better livelihood outcomes, and there may be unintended consequences.

Trichogramma spp. is an efficient egg parasitoids that potentially assist to manage the insect-pests from the field condition by parasiting the host eggs. To mass culture this egg parasitoids effectively, we need to culture another stored grain pest- Rice Meal Moth (Corcyra Cephalonica). After rearing this pest, the eggs of Corcyra will carry the potential Trichogramma spp., which is an Hymenopteran Wasp. The detailed Methodologies of rearing both Corcyra Cephalonica and Trichogramma spp. have described on this ppt.
The modification of an existing product or the formulation of a new product to fill a newly identified market niche or customer need are both examples of product development. This study generally developed and conducted the formulation of aramang baked products enriched with malunggay conducted by the researchers. Specifically, it answered the acceptability level in terms of taste, texture, flavor, odor, and color also the overall acceptability of enriched aramang baked products. The study used the frequency distribution for evaluators to determine the acceptability of enriched aramang baked products enriched with malunggay. As per sensory evaluation conducted by the researchers, it was proven that aramang baked products enriched with malunggay was acceptable in terms of Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color, and Texture. Based on the results of sensory evaluation of enriched aramang baked products proven that three (3) treatments were all highly acceptable in terms of variable Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color and Textures conducted by the researchers.
Monitor indicators of genetic diversity from space using Earth Observation dataSpatial Genetics
Genetic diversity within and among populations is essential for species persistence. While targets and indicators for genetic diversity are captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing genetic diversity across many species at national and regional scales remains challenging. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) need accessible tools for reliable and efficient monitoring at relevant scales. Here, we describe how Earth Observation satellites (EO) make essential contributions to enable, accelerate, and improve genetic diversity monitoring and preservation. Specifically, we introduce a workflow integrating EO into existing genetic diversity monitoring strategies and present a set of examples where EO data is or can be integrated to improve assessment, monitoring, and conservation. We describe how available EO data can be integrated in innovative ways to support calculation of the genetic diversity indicators of the GBF monitoring framework and to inform management and monitoring decisions, especially in areas with limited research infrastructure or access. We also describe novel, integrative approaches to improve the indicators that can be implemented with the coming generation of EO data, and new capabilities that will provide unprecedented detail to characterize the changes to Earth’s surface and their implications for biodiversity, on a global scale.
(Q)SAR Assessment Framework: Guidance for Assessing (Q)SAR Models and Predict...hannahthabet
The webinar provided an overview of the new OECD (Q)SAR Assessment Framework for evaluating the scientific validity of (Q)SAR models, predictions, and results from multiple predictions. The QAF provides assessment elements for existing principles for evaluating models, as well as new principles for evaluating predictions and results. In addition to the principles, assessment elements, and guidance for evaluating each element, the QAF includes a checklist for reporting assessments.
This new Framework provides regulators with a consistent and transparent approach for reviewing the use of (Q)SAR predictions in a regulatory context and increases the confidence to accept alternative methods for evaluating chemical hazards. The OECD worked closely together with the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (Italy) and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), supported by a variety of international experts to develop a checklist of criteria and guidance for evaluating each criterion. The aim of the QAF is to help establish confidence in the use of (Q)SARs in evaluating chemical safety, and was designed to be applicable irrespective of the modelling technique used to build the model, the predicted endpoint, and the intended regulatory purpose.
The webinar provided an overview of the project and presented the main aspects of the framework for assessing models and results based on individual or multiple predictions.
There is a tremendous amount of news being disseminated every day online about dangerous forever chemicals called PFAS. In this interview with a global PFAS testing expert, Geraint Williams of ALS, he and York Analytical President Michael Beckerich discuss the hot-button issues for the environmental engineering and consulting industry -- the wider range of PFAS contamination sites, new PFAS that are unregulated, and the compliance challenges ahead.
Widespread PFAS contamination requires stringent sampling and laboratory analyses by certified laboratories only -- whether it is for PFAS in soil, groundwater, wastewater or drinking water.

4. Findings (2 parts)
5. Project intervention in Year 2-4
6. Conclusions & recommendation
3. 1. Three important components of ‘complementary integrated
timber and NTFP management’:
A type of management that supports the enhancement of a
complementary income portfolio at the household level,
which comes from the optimisation of timber and NTFP production
system, supported by more cost-effective value chains
The implementation of the integrated management between
timber and NTFPs will enhance the ecological function of the
landscape
The whole processes are facilitated by favourable policy and
regulation frameworks.
4. 1. insufficient understanding of the trade-offs: allocation of household
labour and financial capital
2. ineffective silvicultural practices: do not optimise the production of
timber and NTFPs;
3. insufficient understanding of market characteristics and what the
markets require to improve the products’ qualities;
4. there has been conflict with integrated uses and management of
timber and NTFPs in the region; and
5. unfavourable policy frameworks that prevent production system &
value chains from effectively providing fair profit margins
Such integration, however, faces significant impediments:

8. Afavourable policy and regulation framework
Policy instruments that increase the comparative advantages
of small-scale forestry management practices, and thus stimulate investments
in its establishment and management.
(Adopted from Enters et al., 2004 and Meijerink, 2007)
Serve as incentives for optimisation of timber and NTFPs production
system and more cost-effective value chains, through policies and
regulations that are:
tailored to local context
resulted from participatory processes: take into account inputs from
stakeholders that are affected in the implementation
benefits and risks are predicted and manageable (including the
transaction costs of implementing relevant policies and regulations).
9. Participatory action research with scope of activities:
3.1. Review policy and regulatory frameworks that hinder timber and NTFP
production and marketing:
Identify & analyse incentives and specific disincentives to the cots-
effectiveness of production and marketing chains
3.2. Propose improved regulations and government support, focussing on
effective and practical implementation
Develop a policy working group at district level (in consultation with
provincial level relevant agencies) – recommendation to the national level
Collaboratively develop recommendations for applying the improved
policy and regulations with key government agencies.
Properly consulted and refined recommendation
3.3. Support trial applications of the new policies and/or regulations and monitor
the impact of these changes

31. 1. Current policy frameworks restrain smallholder producers from
benefiting optimally due to:
a. Disincentives to production systems and low cost-effective value
adding industries
b. Overly regulated regulations applied independently to timber and
NTFPs – high transaction costs
c. Alack of understanding about policy and regulation at household
level – increasing community knowledge about policy and regulation
is crucial (part of project intervention).
6. Conclusions (1)
32. 2. Formal legislation and regulations applied at the local level, affecting
local communities in making decisions on their livelihood strategies;
there are inter-relationships between:
(1) complementary incomes coming from timber and NTFP at the household
level;
(2) forest land rights; and
(3) the landscape type of nature reserve or protected forest surrounding the
villages.
3. Roles of middle-men & brokers – trade offs between:
a. (-) Suppressing farm gate prices (enjoying significant profit margin)
b. (+) Covering the costs (markets, transportation & transaction & sources
of financial capital for investment & household needs
E.g. 38% of total (formal) costs sold at farm gate
(based on the analysis in West Nusa Tenggara)
Conclusions (2)
