Specific objectives included strengthening policy frameworks, promoting sustainable harvest practices, supporting innovation, and improving market connections.The workshop served as a platform for participants to discuss country-specific challenges and opportunities, exchange knowledge, and identify priority actions for the protection, sustainable use, and economic development of NWFPs.The workshop included country presentations on the status of NWFPs, panel discussions on key topics such as conservation, value creation, and enabling environments, and a field visit to observe NWFP practices in the Muğla region. Participants shared their experiences and views on sustainable management practices, innovative approaches, and the challenges related to policy implementation and market integration.By fostering dialogue and cooperation, the workshop aimed to create an enabling environment for NWFP value chains to effectively contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals.

The range of efforts required to develop the full potential of NWFPs is wide indeed. Land-use and forest policies need to be evaluated and where necessary adapted to ensure that potential impacts on non-wood forest resources and products are taken into consideration. Increased research on the abundance, distribution, biology and ecology of non-wood forest resources is essential. Of particular importance are investigations into ways to improve the employment- and income-generating potential of NW FPs through better harvesting, storage, transport, processing, manufacturing and marketing. The articles in this issue of Unasylva explore various facets of the challenge of generating income through the sustainable management of NWFPs.
