Forest and farm producer organizations: operating systems for the SDGs
Evidence is growing that farm and forest producer organizations are at the heart of sustainable rural development, because it is only through organized groups that locally-controlled forestry can be scaled up to meet growing global demand for forest products, including environmental services and non-timber items. Forest and farm producer organizations can have a unique role in delivering the SDGs worldwide: although they are ‘merely’ local organizations they are capable of contributing to universal goals. Many SDG targets have direct or indirect links to forests and landscapes (particularly under SDG 15, Life on land), but producer organizations also contribute to other SDGs as well. The SDGs provide the framework for this publication, and we have chosen seven of them as being of particular importance. The main focus is on ways in which producer organizations lead to direct SDG benefits, but many indirect benefits also spring from improved livelihoods and decision-making.
