The IUFRO Task Force “*Unlocking the Bioeconomy and Nontimber Forest Products*” with partners is cohosting a series of presentations to explore how NTFP are integrated into a bioeconomy. A bioeconomy can reduce environmental impacts of economic growth through science-based management that promotes sustainable production. In this series, experts from around the world will share research on nontimber forest products within a bioeconomy concept. The first webinar will be Tuesday, August 31, 7:30-8:30 a.m. ET.
