No Thumbnail AvailableDocumentTechnical bookNon-wood forest products and income generation 1999The 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.

2018年4月，联合国粮农组织（FAO）召开了第二届生态农业国际研讨会：“推广生态农业 实现可持续发展目标”。本届研讨会达成了部分协议并作出相关承诺，为推广生态农业、实现可持续发展目标奠定了基础。会议讨论并列举了推广生态农业为当地带来的主要好处、在全球层面推广生态农业的机遇以及将生态农业纳入其全球项目的具体路径，并发起了“生态农业推广举措”。该“举措”被视为推动并实现《2030年可持续发展议程》（特别是可持续发展目标2）的未来方向和战略方法。 -
ArticleJournal articleNurturing Soil Life through Agroforestry – The Roles of Trees in the Ecological Intensification of Agriculture 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Soil resources constitute the very foundation of agriculture, so sustainable agriculture is inherently dependent on soil health. Soil health reflects the capacity of soil to respond beneficially to agricultural management, maintaining both agricultural production and the provision of varying ecosystem services, nutrient cycling, and biodiversity conservation in the long term. Soil health depends on the physical, chemical, and biological conditions of the soil that are required for plant growth and development. Ecological intensification differs from current strategies for agricultural intensification by embracing agroecological transitions to more sustainable agriculture and food systems. This chapter discusses the pivotal role that trees play in building and maintaining the soil health and functional resilience that are required for the ecological intensification of agriculture. It summarizes the current knowledge about functions and impacts of trees on soil health, and highlights the tree/soil biodiversity interactions that drive these functions. -
