Our projects
Using remote sensing to increase access to sustainable forest management information
Innovation
With remote sensing an increasingly important tool within the forestry sector, we are supported the development of a web-based platform to monitor the sustainable management of forests in Finland using open-source satellite imagery.
Enhancing rural development in Spain through certified wild food products
Non-wood forest products
Moving certification beyond wood based products to include all products originating in forests is vital. Following on from our project focused on mushrooms, we supported the development of wild food products from certified Spanish forests.
