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

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

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

  4. Non-timber Forest Products Making every acre count

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

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

  7. Agroforestry Integrating NTFPs in the Landscape

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

  9. 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

  15. Agroforestry Riparian Buffers

  16. Agroforestry Alley Cropping

  17. Agroforestry Windbreaks

  18. Permaculture Designing agroforestry systems that mimic nature

  19. Permaculture (permanent agriculture) • Designing productive systems that mimic nature • Observe our biome and work with nature • A set of tenants that guide decisions • Earth Care • People Care • Fair Share • Greater resilience, sustainability, and abundance Photo credit: Mark Shepard of Restoration Agriculture

  20. Layers of the Forest

  21. 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

  22. Community-based Participatory Action Research How we make things happen

  23. 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.

  24. 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

  25. 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.
