Book (stand-alone)Indigenous multipurpose trees of Tanzania
uses and economic benefits for people
1993Also available in:
No results found.Cultural Survival Canada is pleased to be involved with the effort to produce Indigenous Multipurpose Trees of Tanzania: Uses and Economic Benefits for People. We feel this handbook will be a useful and productive tool in our work. As an organization, one of our chief areas of focus is helping to preserve forest peoples' cultures and forest environments worldwide. We are also concerned with how indigenous tree species, which form an integral part of most cultures around the world, can continue t o be utilized and protected while still allowing peoples to live sustainably. Even though Tanzania is the focus country, this handbook should provide a working model for any country to adapt to its own particular circumstances. In this way, we hope that it will be instrumental in helping peoples everywhere to better understand their environments and the natural tree - based resources on which they often rely to meet their everyday needs. -
ArticleRestoration of productive landscapes through management of trees on-farms in the off reserve landscape through tree registration and climate smart farming systems in Ghana
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Ghana has a total land area of 238,540 km2 and approximately 15% of the country has been set aside as forest reserves, wildlife parks, and the remaining 85% is owned by stools, skins and individuals across the country. All naturally occurring trees in off reserve landscapes are vested in the state but they occur in individual and community lands and farms. Most of Ghana’s agricultural system embraces the retention of trees during the course of cultivation with trees integrated in a mixture with crops. In the past, farmers destroyed these trees because their cocoa farms were destroyed by felling of trees for timber and they could not get compensation or any support from the state. To achieve Ghana’s Forest policy goals and objectives of the forest Plantation strategy, Ghana is piloting a programme to provide legal support for farmers, optimize the productivity and sustainability of smallholder farming systems by developing appropriate technologies that involve trees (incorporation of trees-on farm within 3.75 million hectares) and enhances connectivity and biodiversity between the agricultural and forest landscapes. A pilot programme to register all planted and naturally occurring trees at the district level has begun with recent support from Climate Investment Fund through Ghana’s Forest investment programme (GFIP) to provide options for tree tenure regimes, tree ownership and benefit sharing mechanisms for farmers to plant more trees. This paper highlights the importance of trees on farm for landscape restoration, legal framework and the procedures for tree registration, identified strengths and weaknesses and potential for climate change mitigation and adaptation as well as sustained reduction in degradation and deforestation whilst increasing productivity per hectare for farmers.

No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Summary Report - National Training Course on Woodfuel Production and Marketing in Forest, Agriculture and Tree Production Systems
Regional Wood Energy Development Programme In Asia - GCP/RAS/154/NET
1996Also available in:
No results found.The national training course on "Woodfuel Production and Marketing in Forest, Agriculture and Tree Production Systems" was organised by the Forest Science Institute of Vietnam (FSIV) in collaboration with RWEDP in April 1996 in Hanoi. The course was a follow-up of the sub-regional training course on woodfuel production held in Indonesia in 1995. The course brought together representatives of energy and forestry agencies to review problems related to the production, marketing and use of biom ass energy in Vietnam. The participants also received guidelines for formulating and implementing wood energy programmes, not only in the energy and forestry sectors, but also in sectors concerned with agriculture and rural development. The report contains English summaries of the papers orginally presented in Vietnamese. They discuss the assessment of wood energy supply and marketing in Vietnam, the use of biomass energy for residential and industrial purposes, and economic aspects.
