Family Forests and Small-Scale Forestry
Family Forests and Small Scale Forestry:
Accessing Carbon Markets
As numerous studies have shown, small scale forestry
initiatives,
such as family forests and community-based forestry, face challenges in
accessing markets and certification systems. These issues are
compounded in the new forest carbon protocols emerging in both the
voluntary and regulated carbon markets. This study identifies
opportunities, obstacles to market entry, and models for small-scale
forestry participants in carbon markets.
