Gender and non-timber
forest products: Promoting food security and economic empowerment
This publication takes stock of past experience and demonstrates that there are many opportunities to invest in non-timber forest products in support of rural livelihoods and to promote better methods of enabling poor rural people, and especially women, to benefit from the sector. It highlights approaches used by IFAD and other agencies and emphasizes the multiple dimension of the challenges – in terms of division of labour, differences in access to credit and market information, and environmental issues. It also illustrates the role of women as agents of change in this sector in knowledge of natural resources, biodiversity and conservation.

Each day, new issues and processes are reshaping the face of poverty in rural societies, including climate change, rising energy and food prices, agro-fuel production and increasing migration and urbanization. This means that development programmers and policymakers need to re-examine the way they respond.
