Forests, food security and sustainable livelihoods
As the articles in this issue suggest, forests contribute to food security and sustainable livelihoods in numerous ways, not only directly but also indirectly, through support to agricultural systems, their role in rural development and in maintaining environmental integrity and the provision of op-portunities for income generation and employment. Governments would do well to consider these contributions in their pursuit of food security goals, by integrating forestry with other disciplines, for example agriculture and nutrition, in policy and planning.
