March 2025 -</i> In 2012, the UN General Assembly proclaimed 21 March as the <a

style="color:hsl(240,100%,50%);"><strong>International Day of
Forests</strong></span></a>. In 2025, <strong>forests and
foods</strong> is the theme for the day. The Vienna-based
<strong>International Union of Forest Research Organizations </strong>(<a
href="http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22g…
style="color:hsl(240,100%,50%);">IUFRO</span></a>), one of the
world's largest and oldest research collaborations, is taking this as an opportunity
to emphasize the role of forests and forest science for food security.<br /><br
/>"The importance of healthy and species-rich forests for the environment and the
economy cannot be overestimated," says IUFRO Senior Advisor <strong>Dr
Christoph Wildburger</strong> and highlights the fundamental climate-protecting
function of forests as CO<sub>2</sub> and water regulators.
"<strong>Forests also ensure diversified food production</strong>: for
example, forests are indispensable for pollinating insects such as bees. They protect
rivers and water catchment areas thereby preserving the habitat of fish. Forests also
provide green fodder for domestic animals, firewood and protein-rich game meat. They
contribute to the livelihoods of more than five billion people worldwide," he
says.<br /><br /><strong>Science and research provide the basis for
evidence-based policy</strong><br /><br /><strong>IUFRO President
Daniela Kleinschmit</strong>, Professor of Forest and Environmental Policy at
Albert-Ludwig University of Freiburg, Germany, calls on political and economic
decision-makers worldwide: "<strong>Findings from science and research provide
a sound basis for recommendations for the survival of forest ecosystems—and thus for
safeguarding human well-being.</strong> This is of particular importance for people
whose livelihoods and food sources are directly threatened by the consequences of climate
change, loss of biodiversity, and damage to ecosystems."<br /><br
/>Anyone who obtains food primarily from forests has a great interest in keeping them
healthy. Ecologically resilient forests guarantee an intact basic supply, enable cultural
vitality, and foster economic progress. "Forest protection measures to mitigate the
effects of climate change and to preserve biodiversity—especially in tropical regions of
the world—are based on one key success factor: they work best when they are implemented in
agreement with the local people who rely on forests for their immediate livelihoods and
food sources," Professor Kleinschmit explains. "<strong>Forests can
promote the food sovereignty of the local population</strong>. Their agricultural
and forestry expertise is a valuable resource and should be integrated into political and
administrative measures," she adds.<br /><br /><strong>Forests
provide more than timber: food worth billions</strong><br /><br
/>Forests not only provide raw materials for the wood-processing industry but also
food, fuel, and much more. This means income and jobs, especially for the most vulnerable
groups in society worldwide and for people who live near forests. While farmers and
private individuals in many European countries, for example, primarily value timber from
their forests as an additional source of income, people in other regions of the world rely
more on food and firewood from the forest. The <strong>economic benefits of these
products should not be underestimated</strong>. In 2022, the global trade volume of
pine nuts and wild mushrooms amounted to around 1.8 billion US dollars! Access to wild
food from the forest also provides <strong>more variety in the diet</strong>
and thus <strong>improves health</strong>. Surveys in 24 tropical countries
have shown that the sale of wild foods accounts for four percent of private household
incomes.<br /><br /><strong>Science delves into the ways forests support
food production, health, and resilience</strong><br /><br />For ten
years, IUFRO has been examining the contribution of forests to achieving <a

"In our <a

style="color:hsl(240,100%,50%);"><strong>global study on forests and
food security</strong></span></a> back in 2015, we were able to show how
forests and trees complement agricultural production and thus contribute to livelihoods of
the local population, especially in the poorest regions of the world." Professor
Kleinschmit, co-author of the study, adds: "Science also shows that agriculture
systems that integrate forests and trees are more resilient to extreme weather events such
as heavy rain, drought, or storms." <br /><br />IUFRO's <a

style="color:hsl(240,100%,50%);"><strong>role of forests in poverty
reduction</strong></span></a> shows that trees provide products and
services that improve the lives of many people living in poverty and mitigate risks in

providing medicines, food, and other products to strengthen human health.<br
/><br /><strong>New global IUFRO assessment on resilience announced for
June 2025</strong><br /><br />The aspects addressed in the former
publications will be brought together in a new large-scale study: in June 2025, IUFRO will
present a global assessment on the topic of <a

Economic Resilience</strong></span></a>. It assesses the
multidimensional relationships between forests and social and economic resilience from
different perspectives. To facilitate evidence-based action by political decision-makers,
the team of authors is producing an accompanying <strong>policy brief</strong>
