Gregersen, H; Draper, S; Elz, D

This book was written for two main reasons. First, EDI's preparatory work for two courses on forestry projects revealed the need for a publication that brings together developing countries' recent experiences with social-forestry programs and projects and that presents the material in a manner that would be useful for people working in this field. The second reason is somewhat more startling. Data produced for the courses indicated that investments in forestry and tree growing will have to be enormous in the medium-term future to achieve a reasonable balance between requirements for environmental stability and local demands for forest and tree products. The authors have brought out the issues or problems encountered and have given examples of what to look for and how to go about solving problems. They hope that the book will help set in motion accelerated programs of social forestry and other developments that bring together trees and farming systems.
