Non-wood goods and benefits are of major importance in the boreal and cold temperate forest regions of the world. Up to now, however, they have received little attention as to how they can be developed and managed on a sustainable basis. The International Expert Workshop on the Sustainable Development of Nonb-wood Goods and Benefits from Boreal and Cold Temperate Forests was held at EFI headquarters in Joensuu, Finland to : (1) Gain better insights into the resource situation and the present utilisation status of major NWFP in the boreal and cold temperate regions, including their ptential, problems and issues involved during their harvesting, processing, trade, and marketing. (2) Assess and raise awareness of the importance of NWFP for rural development, the environment (biodiversity conservation), and for sustainable forestry. (3) Identify key constraints and possible solutions related to the development of the NWFP sector. (4) Provide suggestions and recommandations for actions at various levels to support national / regional efforts for NWF resource management and conservation and for the sustainable development of their products. These proceedings include the papers given, key findings and final recommendations for developing this important resource.
