Incorporating Understanding of Informal Economic Activity in Natural Resource and Economic Development Policy
This report synthesizes the literature on the role of informal economic activity (IEA) in the U.S. post-industrial economy. The literature highlights how factors such as social status and household position in the formal economy affect whether participation in informal economic activity is exploitative or empowering. The non-timber forest products sector serves as a case study of why it is important to consider IEA when developing natural resource and economic development policy. The authors recommend steps policymakers can take to identify and encourage positive aspects of the IEA. They also highlight several areas of research to improve understandings of the role of IEA in postindustrial societies. Charts and tables.
Non-Timber Forest Products
Balance the culture of wildcrafting with the demands of sustainable forest management. This comprehensive book documents the current use, research, and policy concerns relating to harvesting non-timber forest products (NTFPs). It provides a state-of-the-art review of historical and contemporary wildcrafting, ongoing research on economically useful forest products, and sociopolitical and environmental considerations for NTFP management. The implications of harvesting NTFPs are usually considered in the context of the Third World, but this unique book offers an analysis of current conditions in North America and integrates the historical, social, ecological, and policy aspects of NTFP use. It addresses the issues that arise when the primeval practice of gathering wild plants, fungi, leaves, and bark occurs in a post-industrial world. Non-Timber Forest Products: Medicinal Herbs, Fungi, Edible Fruits and Nuts, and Others.
