New Paper: roles of forests & tree in poverty dynamics

8/23/2021

 
We have a new paper in the journal Forest Policy and Economics reviewing the links between forests / tree-based systems and poverty dynamics.

Highlights: 
  • Evidence on four broad roles forests and tree-based systems play in household poverty dynamics reviewed  
  • Forests and tree-based systems shape household poverty dynamics through the production of both goods and ecosystem services 
  • The most commonly reported role is to maintain households at a steady level of wellbeing 
  • Negative forest externalities can maintain or move households into poverty   
  • Addressing gender disparities can contribute to long-term poverty reduction goals
