Descripción
The report highlights the growing importance of smallholder tree-farming systems in meeting the region’s rising wood demand amid declining natural forest production and plateauing industrial plantations. Drawing on regional analysis and nine case studies, it examines how diverse smallholder systems, from woodlots to homegardens, contribute to timber supply, livelihoods, and environmental sustainability.The report identifies key barriers to scaling up these systems, including weak policy support, limited access to technologies and finance, and low technical and organizational capacities. It showcases effective strategies and innovations from across the region and proposes seven strategic pathways for policymakers to strengthen enabling environments, empower tree farmers, enhance market access, and integrate wood production into multifunctional land-use systems, positioning smallholders at the forefront of sustainable wood supply in Asia and the Pacific.
