  1. Social/community forestry and non-timber forest products Group discussion 22 February 2007

  2. Thematic areas • Incentives for small-scale community forestry • Site classification (soil and climate) and field trials of systems for community forestry/ NTFP • Reform of land tenure systems/ conflict resolution • Replication of successful community forestry models • Processing of NTFP Cross-cutting issue: Fostering social learning processes/ adaptive management

  3. Incentives for small-scale community plantings • Policies and Institutions • Researchable issue: analysis of the effectiveness of regulations and impact of land tenure / ownership status, effective size of the management unit • Cost-benefit and market analysis for particular species/ products, approaches to consolidation for supply of processing industry • Researchable issue: analysis of systems and markets to produce intermediate returns (local use, firewood as well as industry processing)

  4. Matching sites to species • Researchable issue: Site classification (soil and climate), especially in variable environments such as West Timor • utilising existing mapping data • selection of species combinations taking markets and cultural preferences into account • Researchable issue: Silvicultural systems adapted for small-scale plantings, including agro-silvopastural systems • Researchable issue: Field trials of systems for community forestry/ NTFP and development of replicable extension models

  5. Reform of land tenure systems • National versus regional versus local-specific systems ? • consensus that local/ site-specific tenure varied so that we needed to look at specific situations in the research • but develop frameworks that can be replicated between districts Researchable issue: • Relationship between land tenure systems and incentives for developing community forestry • establishment of successful models for conflict resolution (including legal frameworks)

  6. Replication of successful community forestry models • First need an inventory of current small scale private and community forestry resources – size, location, species, access, governance situation • Comparative analysis of benefits of different species (e.g. rubber, coffee, timber species) (?? ACIAR’s role – may be to develop model system to use for inventory and apply to a project site)

  7. Processing of agroforestry products/ NTFP • Not much Australian expertise other than some individuals with specialist experience
