Book (stand-alone)Technical bookNON-WOOD FOREST PRODUCT VALUE CHAINS IN LEBANON 2016
Also available in:
No results found.This report triangulates qualitative and quantitative primary and secondary data to analyze Lebanon’s main NWFPs value chains: pine nuts – Pinus pinea -, honey, Syrian oregano and sage – Origanum syriacum and Salvia fruticosa -, and laurel - Laurus nobilis. For each value chain, the report proposes recommendations for the development of innovative and adaptive interventions that allow for the improvement of forest-based sustainable livelihoods. -

No results found.There is global recognition that forests are not only about trees but also about the people who live in and around them. Empirical evidence on the role of forests in food security, poverty reduction through income and employment generation, and addressing the challenges of climate change is increasingly being generated and documented. Over 1.6 billion people worldwide depend heavily on forest resources for their livelihoods, of which 1.2 billion people in developing countries use trees on farms to generate food and income. For the Near East and North Africa (NENA) region where forest resources are scarce and the potentials for timber production are limited, non-wood forest products (NWFPs) such as fruit, bark, roots, tubers, corms, leaves, flowers, nuts, gums, sap, resins, dyes, honey, mushrooms, medicinal and aromatic plants, and wildlife animal products are becoming ever more important. Local people use these products to meet their daily needs; as a source of food, fodder and medicin e, and to generate income. However, current production of NWFPs represents a small fraction of what it could actually be in most countries in the region, and its full potential for poverty reduction, livelihood improvement and environmental sustainability has yet to be harnessed to help local people in the region out of poverty and food insecurity. Although the commercialization of NWFPs in the NENA region runs deep in the region’s history and has done for thousands of years, local producers sti ll remain on the side-lines and receive a much smaller commercial margin compared to what other actors receive. In this context the FAO, through its Regional Initiative for Small-Scale Family Farming (SSFF), supported country studies in selected NENA countries on the potential of NWFPs for value chain development and value addition to generate evidence-based data on the valorization of NWFPs in the NENA region. The aim is to support policy recommendations, strategies and actions that can increas e benefit retention and poverty reduction by commercializing NWFPs at the local level and boost their contribution to the well-being of rural communities, national economies and to the sustainable development of the NENA countries overall. -

Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideManuel de l’élaboration des équations allométriques des arbres des principales espèces forestières de la Tunisie 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Ce guide sur l’élaboration d’équations allométriques de biomasse est spécifiquement conçu pour les cadres de la Direction générale des forêts tunisiennes, qu’ils soient techniciens, ingénieurs ou chercheurs œuvrant dans l’évaluation des ressources forestières, notamment le volume, la biomasse et les stocks de carbone. Toutefois, il est également destiné à tous les utilisateurs, qu’ils soient techniciens, chercheurs ou étudiants travaillant dans l’évaluation des ressources forestières. Ces informations sont couramment utilisées à des fins commerciales, de bioénergie ou de lutte contre les changements climatiques. Les méthodes exposées dans ce rapport sont adaptées aux forêts tunisiennes ainsi qu’à des zones écologiques similaires, mais elles peuvent également être appliquées dans d’autres contextes. Ce rapport est divisé en quatre parties: saisie et nettoyage des données, échantillonnage et stratification, exploration graphique et statistique des données, et développement des équations allométriques. Il aborde divers aspects liés à la construction d’équations allométriques, depuis la collecte d’échantillons sur le terrain jusqu’à l’analyse des données, en passant par l’exploration graphique des données, le calibrage des modèles et leur utilisation pour les prévisions.
