International Non-Timber Forest Products (INFP)

International Non-Timber Forest Products (INFP) refer to valuable resources obtained from forests that do not involve cutting down trees. These include items such as fruits, nuts, mushrooms, resins, and medicinal plants. INFPs support livelihoods for communities around the world by providing income and food. They also play a crucial role in biodiversity conservation and sustainable forest management. By focusing on harvesting these products responsibly, we can protect forests while benefiting local economies and preserving traditional knowledge about forest use.
