North Carolina State University Extension and the USDA Forest Service will hold a 90 minute Non-timber forest products in the United States: access, production, markets, and market values webinar on April 14th from 1 to 2:30 pm EDT.
Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) are derived from natural populations of plants or fungi, or farmed in forests. Although numerous and varied users harvest, trade, and consume NTFPs, relatively little is known about the organization of the markets for these products and the market value or contribution to local and regional economies.
Presenters Dr. Jim Chamberlin and Dr. Greg Frey from the USDA Forest Service will explore past research and gaps in current understanding related to the access, production, markets, and market values of NTFPs in the United States, including the continuum of production from wild-harvesting to forest farming of NTFPs.
