A framework for assessing innovation capacity in non-timber forest product enterprises
Innovation is critical for the survival, growth and competitiveness of firms, particularly for non-timber forest product (NTFP)-based enterprises which are gaining economic importance and an increasingly recognized role in the bioeconomy transition. Yet, a conceptually grounded and empirically informed innovation capacity framework to guide and enhance the innovation performance of NTFP enterprises remains lacking. This study employs an abductive…
Contribution of the Baobab Value Chain to Equitable Rural Livelihoods and Poverty Alleviation in Ghana
Non‐timber forest products (NTFPs) are central to income diversification and livelihood resilience in Sub‐Saharan Africa. However, the welfare implications of baobab commercialisation remain underexplored. This study addresses this gap by analysing the contribution of the baobab value chain to household income, poverty reduction, and income inequality across regions, actor groups, and genders in northern Ghana. Using household‐level data of 808 a…
Addressing (in)formality: The perspective of baobab entrepreneurs
Understanding factors impacting adoption and use of silvopastoral systems with native trees in the Cerrado: Evidence from the northern of Minas Gerais, Brazil
The Brazilian Cerrado faces increasing pressure for land cover change from expanding livestock farming and monoculture agriculture practices. In this context, silvopastoral systems (SPS) using native trees present a promising alternative for sustainable land use. However, the adoption and intensification of these systems depend on various influencing factors. This study, conducted in the northern mesoregion of Minas Gerais State, Brazil, seeks to…
Business model, strategies and performance of baobab enterprises: Insight for the NTFPs industry
While non-timber forest products (NTFPs) hold global significance, their integration into global value chains remains limited. However, baobab production and marketing stand out as an exception, thus offering insights for developing potential competitive NTFPs-based industries. This study assesses the business model, and strategies of baobab enterprises and its effect on performance to inform the advancement of NTFPs commercialisation. Analysing …

Implications of legalizing artisanal chainsaw milling on social welfare, income distribution and the economic performance of sawyers in Cameroon
Cameroon has been at the centre of global concerns about illegal timber logging for several decades, much of which has been driven by the informal timber sector. Hence, this study was conducted with the objectives to assess the benefits gained by different sawyer categories undertaking illegal timber logging and compare them to simulated legal benefits in order to envisage solutions to legalize the activity. Our results indicate that in spite of …
Stakeholder viewpoints on facilitation of cross-border cooperation
The European Union fosters cooperation in cross-border regions through the European Cohesion Policy (ECP). The implementation of ECP instruments requires a participatory approach, in which stakeholders’ views are acknowledged. However, the multiple of views among and between stakeholders of cross-border initiatives complicate their involvement in a participatory approach. A prerequisite for a meaningful involvement of all stakeholders is an in-de…
Agroforestry systems and their impact on livelihood improvement of tribal farmers in a tropical moist deciduous forest in Bangladesh
This study investigates the composition of and preferences by farmers related to trees and crops planted in agroforestry systems, and their role on the livelihood of tribal farmers in a tropical moist deciduous forest in Tangail, Bangladesh. Data was collected from 150 tribal farmers practicing different types of agroforestry systems in Madhupur Sal forest, using a mixed-method strategy that included a survey, focus group discussion, key informan…
Application of the technology acceptance model to assess the use and preferences of ICTs among field-level extension officers in Bangladesh
Investment in ICTs has not always yielded the expected results due to inadequate usage of ICTs by extension staffs. Our study aims to present a more general account of the use of ICTs and preferences of extension and advisory workers at the grassroots level. Following the technology acceptance model (TAM) and Dillman survey method, a google form was used to collect data from 131 sub-district level extension officers covering 48 (out of 64) distri…
A risk-benefit approach to the purchase and consumption of conventional vegetables in wet markets
The purchase and consumption of conventional vegetables from wet markets in Vietnam are like two sides of a coin: perceived food safety risks and perceived benefits. Drawing on a sample of 463 Hanoi consumers, this study employed a risk-benefit approach to analyze the purchase intention and consumption frequency of conventional vegetables at traditional markets. A confirmatory factor analysis examined the links among risk perception, perceived ut…

Connecting rural non-timber forest product collectors to global markets: The case of baobab (Adansonia digitata L.)
Although the importance of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) is increasingly recognised across the globe, their potential is not yet fully realised. Their often valuable nutritional composition and discovery of new possible applications offer further opportunities for innovation and rural development. Yet only few NTFPs manage the jump from traditional, informal use to global markets. Therefore, this paper assesses how baobab (Adansonia digitata…

Farmers' Decision-making and Land Use Changes in Kyrgyz Agropastoral Systems
The 2009 Law On Pastures in Kyrgyzstan led to implementation of a community-based pasture management plan (CBPMP) as of 2010, aimed at strengthening pasture governance through improving current pasture use practices and controlling stocking rates at pastures. In the context of implementing CBPMP tools, this research explored farmers' decision-making on herd sizes and land use. This contributes to addressing the theme “Transformations Towards Sust…
