Also available in:
No results found.An extended informal meeting took place during the week of 2 to 6 December during which the overall concept of PFZ was discussed and more detailed consideration was given to the design and operationalisation of its key components, especially those relating to institutional arrangements, family farming (including the special cases of land reform settlements and the North East), and broadening access to adequate food. The meeting benefited from a series of excellent presentations by invited guests (see Annex 2), most of which focussed on ongoing projects and programmes in Brazil that are considered as offering experience relevant to the design and implementation of PFZ. Many documents were assembled for reference by the Working Group (see Annex 3). These included a number of papers prepared by members of the Transition Team and national experts, following the elections, for presentation at this meeting. This brief report seeks to summarise the most important observations that a rose in the discussions and on which there appears to be a large measure of consensus. It also seeks to represent the diversity of opinions expressed during the meeting. Finally it explores possible responses of the three international institutions to the immediate challenges posed by PFZ.

DocumentBulletinNon-wood news
An information bulletin on Non-Wood Forest Products
2007Also available in:
No results found.Behind the new-look Non-Wood News is the usual wealth of information from the world of NWFPs. The Special Features section covers two different aspects of NWFPs: a specific product (bamboo) and a developing market (cosmetics and beauty care). Bamboo is versatile: it can be transformed, for example, into textiles, charcoal, vinegar, green plastic or paper and can also be used as a food source, a deodorant, an innovative building material and to fuel power stations. Reports indicate that natural c osmetics and beauty care are a huge global market, with forecasts indicating an annual growth of 9 percent through 2008. The Special Feature on Forest cosmetics: NWFP use in the beauty industry builds on this and includes information industry interest and marketing strategies (consumers are being drawn to natural products and thus their content is emphasized). As can be seen from the articles on shea butter in Africa and thanakha in Myanmar, many societies have always used and benefited from nat ural cosmetics. This issue includes other examples of traditional knowledge, such as the uses of the secretions of a poisonous tree frog in Brazil and the use by the traditional healers in India of allelopathic knowledge. -
