Reviews
"""This timely and seminal investigation enters almost untouched academic territory by combining scholarship on the bioeconomy and non-timber forest products, moving beyond the dominating Western and biotech focus. The book is of high value to students, researchers, and policy practitioners in bioeconomy, forestry, development, livelihoods & poverty around the globe."" Lukas Giessen, Professor of Tropical & International Forestry, TU Dresden and Editor-in-Chief of Forest Policy and Economics ""Forests play a critical role in supporting the transition from fossil fuels towards a ""green"" bioeconomy to tackle the climate crisis, biodiversity loss, and land degradation. This book analyses the importance of non-timber forest products in the bioeconomy on five continents, providing a solid scientific basis for insightful recommendations on sustainable management and increased benefits to communities living in and near forests."" John Parrotta, President, International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO)"
