Webinar Series of IUFRO Task Force "Unlocking the Bioeconomy and Non-Timber Forest Products" continues - 20 October 2021

by Brigitte Burger

[cid:image003.jpg@01D7BEC6.15C9D5B0]Webinar Series "Unlocking the Bioeconomy for Nontimber Forest Products": Comparing the Potential of Non-Wood Forest Products in Six European Regions online; 20 October 2021, 7:30-8:30 a.m. ET / 1130-1230 UTC. Speaker: Harald Vacik, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences - Institute of Silviculture, Austria. Forest management often does not give full attention towards the management of non-timber forest products because timber production is the main ecosystem service provided. In this presentation the future potential of NWFPs for diversifying the forest bioeconomy in different European regions is investigated. The results of several case studies are based on a multi-criteria analysis, including stakeholder interaction and expert involvement. Forest owners who are willing to focus their management on the joint production of wood and non-wood resources will be able to learn about the most successful combinations in a given ecological and socio-economic context. The presentation intends to unravel perspectives for forest owners in particular as they act as main suppliers of NWFP raw materials and thus can be understood as key actors in a forest bioeconomy. Due to the varying socio-economic and ecological environments, there is huge potential to strengthen the economic viability of rural areas and a sustainable co-production may foster the ecological integrity of forest ecosystems across Europe. Harald Vacik is doing his research on the evaluation of natural resource management in the context of sustainability and biodiversity.
