Dear colleagues,
I have the pleasure to inform you that the session on No. 148
“Innovative value added chains in forestry” in the Congress segment: All
Division 4 (Forest Assessment, Modelling and Management) Meeting for
upcoming IUFRO 125th Anniversary Congress in Freiburg
Germany, 19-22 September, 2017 is open for abstract submission at
http://iufro2017.com/call-for-abstracts. The deadline for abstract
submission is 30 November, 2016. If you want to discuss your ideas,
please contact one of the organizers (see below).
Session outline
The value added - from harvesting, processing and using the potentials
of (domestic) forest resources - to supply refined timber or non-timber
products or to provide touristic or green care services, continues to
increase the value of forested areas - a major part of Bio -Economy. The
paradigm of the cascade usage between material and energetic usage and
dividing high value from low value assortments - a particularity of
forestry - is in line with the European strategy of Circular Economy for
increasing resource-efficiency. Accordingly, this session aims to
present outstanding case studies of innovative supply chains that foster
rural-urban linkages and strengthen interdisciplinary interfaces. It
will also discuss methodological approaches such as calculation schemes
or the applicability of optimization and behavioral models to compute
the value added for certain administrative units. Such multi-method
approaches introduce interesting views for deriving a regional value
added, by capturing the most relevant input-factors and outputs along
the value added chain: from the supply of raw materials and the use of
products - to the profit made and taxes paid. That process can consider
horizontal and vertical interlinkages covering intermediate suppliers of
individual actors across the production chain. Multiplier effects like
that are extending the “chain concept” to a “network concept”. Therein
effects of CO2 sequestration or additional value added from introducing
carbon taxes could be included as well. Moreover, we welcome
contributions providing insights regarding the competitiveness of
regional and international value added chains or the latent conflict
between microeconomic interests and macro-economic benefits as valuable
inputs for the discussion. This Session situates, elaborates, and
further explains the theory of value chain, with focus on
interdisciplinary approach. It emphasizes crosscutting and motivations
for supplementing the “buyer-driven” and “producer-driven” modes of
global commodity chains in forestry. It considers horizontal and
vertical interlinkages covering intermediate suppliers of individual
actors across the production chains, as one of the elements of
bioeconomy.
The session is organised under IUFRO All Division Meeting 4 Forest
Assessment, Modelling and Management, but it is not restricted to AMM
and will feature interdisciplinary qualitative and quantitative
research, combining ideas and framings from forestry as whole. The
session is organised by researchers from different disciplines, who will
also seek to include additional papers to widen the disciplinary and
geographical coverage.
Best regards, your contribution and looking forward to see you in
Freiburg!

The world today is undergoing rapid socio-economic and technological changes, which have implications for the forest and environment sector, in turn affecting the ecological, economic and social well being of the people. The forestry sector must keep pace and adapt to these changes. The "Commonwealth" refers to the Commonwealth of Nations, an association of 53 sovereign nations that works together to achieve international goals such as Peace, Democracy and Consensus-building, Law, Human Rights and Development, Environmentally Sustainable Economic Development with greater trust and mutual understanding. Environment and forests are global resources and need to be focused upon by the global fraternity due to the pressures they are under as a result of the alarming growth in the human population, pressures that are being exacerbated by climate and environmental change. The year 2017 will be a key occasion for forestry professionals, academicians and all those interested in and associated with forestry sector in the Commonwealth; they will gather and share their experiences with a view to learn and develop a vision for the future that will involve inclusive and sustainable growth and development. The commonwealth forestry conferences have been held since 1920, when the first (Empire) Forestry Conference was held in London. Since then, the conferences have been held regularly to discuss various aspects of management of forests and focus the action on the changing priorities of the forestry sector.
The 19th Commonwealth Forestry Conference is scheduled to be held at Forest Research Institute, Dehradun, India from 3rd to 7th April, 2017. The ICFRE and FRI will be the Focal point of the conference, with support from MOEF & CC, Government of India and Commonwealth Forestry Association. The major theme of the conference will be: "Forests for Prosperity and Posterity"
Abstract submission
Abstract submission will be open until 7 November 2016, at <http://www.cfc2017.in/call-for-papers/> http://www.cfc2017.in/call-for-papers/, containing detailed instructions on how to proceed. The sub-themes are:
1. Biodiversity conservation and management
2. Livelihood and economic security from forests
3. Diversification, multiple use and sustainable harvest
4. Good governance in forestry
5. Forests and climate change
6. Forest and water
The CFC-2017 Secretariat is looking forward to receiving your abstracts!

The International Conference "Between Tradition and Increasing Challenges: Future Development of Small-scale and Community Forestry in Times of Global Change", organized by the three IUFRO Units 3.08.00, 9.03.00 and 9.05.06 is coming up soon!
The conference will provide a unique opportunity to bring together researchers from all over the world to share evidence-based knowledge on small-scale and community forestry issues in Latin America, including the ecological, institutional and anthropogenic factors influencing the management and evolution of forests and forest landscapes. As traditional knowledge plays a substantial role in both small-scale and community forest ownership models, the integration of a historical dimension will provide an additional source of information in order to interpret and understand the challenges and constraints related to global change.
Attached are the preliminary program and an overview of the In-Conference Tour for your information!
Registration is still open at http://www.latinoamericajointiufromeeting.com/registration/ - so make your plans and participate in this exciting event!
