Non-Timber Forest Products How to make every acre count from the forest floor and beyond

Presentation Contents My Background Non-timber Forest Products NTFPs in the Landscape System Design Action Research Dialogue

My Background Agroforestry, permaculture, and non-timber forest products

Non-timber Forest Products Making every acre count

Non-timber Forest Prodcuts (NTFPs) Any biological product other than timber that can be harvested from a forest or tree.

Types NTFPs Edibles Medicinals Forages/Fodder Decoratives Crafts Specialty wood products

Agroforestry Integrating NTFPs in the Landscape

Agroforestry A land management system where trees and shrubs are integrated into production for more diverse, productive, profitable, healthy, and sustainable land-use systems

Agroforestry Benefits Diversification of farm products Over yielding Land regeneration and soil protection Improved water quality and quantity Wildlife habitat Carbon Sequestration Moderate effects of extreme weather on crops and livestock

Layers of the Forest

How do we get there? NTFPs production, harvesting, marketing, selling. Understand our land Understand the existing economic system Design productive systems Learn what works in our region Work together Make a profit

Community-based Participatory Action Research How we make things happen

Action Research Beliefs All people accumulate, organize, and use complex knowledge continuously everyday Only knowledge generated and tested through action is credible Diverse opinions are valued and generate creativity Local knowledge and perspectives of participants are combined with the researchers facilitation of the process, and knowledge of the subject to address complex issues.

Action Research Process NTFPs production, harvesting, marketing, selling. Collectively define the interest Cogenerate knowledge Collaboratively develop a plan of action Make things happen Evaluate results

An open invitation If you are interested in this project, please fill out a survey so we can include you and your thoughts to shape the direction we take.

Dialogue What do you all think? What products do you think have the most potential? Or what do you think could be grown in this region? What are the assets that may help get this started?
