International Forestry Review Vol. 14, No. 4, 2012
Publication Code:
CoP024
Two ACIAR-funded forestry projects in Vanuatu have researched the growth and management of whitewood (Endospermum medulosum) and the improved availability of whitewood germplasm. Whitewood is a fast-growing hardwood species in the natural forest that is well suited to plantation and agroforestry situations, and is able to survive cyclones without major damage. Improved knowledge of whitewood silviculture should enhance the benefits to both the landowners who grow the trees and the processing industries that will utilise them. This special issue of International Forestry Review deals with a diverse series of insights derived from these ACIAR projects in Vanuatu, covering the constraints, establishment, silviculture, genetics and marketing opportunities.
Climate exchange
Publication Code:
CoP023
The Global Framework on Climate Services (GFCS) is a global partnership of governments and organisations that produce and use climate information and services. It seeks to enable researchers and the producers and users of information to join forces to improve the quality and quantity of climate services worldwide, particularly in developing countries. Climate ExChange, copublished by Tudor Rose and the United Nations World Meteorological Organization, explains the benefits of the GFCS across all walks of life, including agriculture, health, water, energy and transport.
Rice in Laos (Lao transation)
Publication Code:
CoP022
An IRRI publication documenting the long association of Laos and its people with rice in historical, cultural and agricultural contexts. It provides a record of the diversity of, and biodiversity within, the rice ecosystems within the country, and summarises the more salient recent advances in rice-related research.
Future perfect
Publication Code:
CoP021
Future perfect was copublished by Tudor Rose and the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs to coincide with Rio+20, the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, which took place in Brazil in June 2012. This book seeks to raise awareness of what sustainable development means to people in different parts of the world, and to inspire all stakeholders—governments, societies, the UN system and other intergovernmental organisations, and private citizens—to make their own contributions and commitments to a sustainable future.
Insect pests in tropical forestry
Publication Code:
CoP020
The management of tropical forest ecosystems is essential to the health of the planet. This book addresses forest insect pest problems across the world's tropics, addressing the pests' ecology, impact and possible approaches for their control. Fully updated, this second edition also includes discussions of new areas of interest including climate change, invasive species, forest health and plant clinics. This work is an indispensible resource for students, researchers and practitioners of forestry, ecology, pest management and entomology in tropical and subtropical countries.
Making value chains work better for the poor: a toolbook for practitioners of value chain analysis
Publication Code:
CoP019
This book provides value chain practitioners with an easy-to-use set of tools for value-chain analysis, with a focus on poverty reduction. It aims to strengthen the links between value-chain analysis and development interventions that improve the opportunities available to the poor. Each of the tools has a clear focus on analysing the impact of the value chain from the point of view of the poor.
Forests for people
