PREPARE Gathering 2010, Ohrid, Macedonia Forestry & Rural Development

General practices and general situation SNV Forestry has long term forestry development programme in the region Sida - SNV Forestry Development Project

Forestry Situation in the region Forests cover 40 – 60% of the total land area in the different Balkan countries Forests are important for rural communities Many citizens depend on forest (natural) resources for their livelihood (40-70% rural population, high unemployment) Forest provide products & services to people especially from decentralized & private forests Forest often integrated in farm systems

EU Rural Development Four axis Competiveness in agriculture and forestry Improve nature, environment and landscape via land management Diversification of rural areas LEADER

Forest in EU Rural Development Increasing the added value of agriculture and forestry products Forestry support regional economies, through: –Wood production (timber and firewood) –NTFP –Small scale industries –Other products such as country side hotels Forestry is important to regional economy Let’s simply read farmers and forest owners!

Forest in EU Rural Development (2) Producer groups, collaboration and innovation in value chain Agro forestry systems on agricultural land Afforestation of agricultural and non-agricultural land Increase the nature value Environmental protection comply to EU standards Land development Forest important to secure wider services (biodiversity, soil stability and conservation, landscape and recreation)

Forest in EU Rural Development (3) Many EU countries have forestry activities indentified in their measures Examples: afforestation, improve quality and diversity of forests (forest enrichment), agro-forestry, landscape and biodiversity improvement, forest production value chain improvements, including safety standards Increasingly focus on climate change and bio-energy Forest land also included in land consolidation, to support nature conservation and efficiency

Current forest in Rural Development in the region Within RD main focus on agriculture Forest neglected in rural development (e.g. no specific activities specified for forestry in IPARD programme in MK) Forestry sector often operates independent from other sectors (agriculture, RD, environment), this hampers integration Society is however demanding a diversified products and services from forest

Thank you for attention
