The Economic Theory of Community Forestry

Focusing on the economic implications, this book explores community forestry as an emerging model of forest management, particularly in developing nations where over a quarter of forests are community-owned. It highlights the lack of economic theory surrounding this movement, especially in developed countries like Canada and the USA. By analyzing community forestry as an alternative ownership model, the book offers insights into how it can harness community resources and foster innovation, ultimately promoting its economic advantages.
