COST Action E3: Forestry in the Context of Rural Development
Abstract
Forests play an important role for the well-being of people living in rural areas. however, more knowledge is needed about the socio-political aspects of forestry and the technical/silvicultural aspects of farm forestry in the context of rural development. A special case in rural areas are mountainous areas, because nowhere are people so dependent on forests as there. The following four working groups (WG) deal with the topics mentioned above: WG 1: Public perception of and on the attitudes of farmers and forest owners to forestry as a means of rural development; WG 2: Management and silvicultural options of farm forestry; WG 3: Role of forests in protecting mountainous rural areas - evaluation of policy means WG 4: Role of forests in protecting mountainous rural areas - evaluation of silvicultural means
