  • The Miracle Resource Eco-Link
    Since 1989 Eco-Link Linking Social, Economic, and Ecological Issues The Miracle Resource Volume 14, Number 1 In the children’s book “The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein the main character is shown to beneÞ t in several ways from the generosity of one tree. The tree is a source of recreation, commodities, and solace. In this parable of giving, one is impressed by the wealth that a simple tree has to offer people: shade, food, lumber, comfort. And if we look beyond the wealth of a single tree to the benefits that we derive from entire forests one cannot help but be impressed by the bounty unmatched by any other natural resource in the world. That’s why trees are called the miracle resource. The forest is a factory where trees manufacture wood using energy from the sun, water and nutrients from the soil, and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In healthy growing forests, trees produce pure oxygen for us to breathe. Forests also provide clean air and water, wildlife habitat, and recreation opportunities to renew our spirits. Forests, trees, and wood have always been essential to civilization. In ancient Mesopotamia (now Iraq), the value of wood was equal to that of precious gems, stones, and metals. In Mycenaean Greece, wood was used to feed the great bronze furnaces that forged Greek culture. Rome’s monetary system was based on silver which required huge quantities of wood to convert ore into metal. For thousands of years, wood has been used for weapons and ships of war. Nations rose and fell based on their use and misuse of the forest resource.

  • 'Whole Nut' Processing of Coconut
    All ACP Agriculture Commodities Programme AAACP Pacific Brief No. 5 October 2011 ‘Whole nut’ processing of coconut – opportunities and challenges for the Pacific region Key messages • Reorienting coconut industries to produce multiple high-value products (‘whole nut’ processing) has the potential to stimulate economic growth in the Pacific region. • Some high-value products can be made at the village level, directly addressing rural poverty. • A new initiative aims to develop pilot multipurpose processing centres in six countries, to demonstrate technical and commercial viability of ‘whole nut’ processing. • Success will depend on support from governments, the private sector, and regional research and development organisations. Compared to other parts of the world, notably tropical ‘Whole nut’ processing – i.e. processing the different Asia, coconut-based industries in the Pacific region parts of the coconut to produce multiple high-value are stagnating. Pacific island countries have mostly products – has the potential to revitalise coconut failed to invest in new developments, and copra and industries in the region. If opportunities can be low-quality coconut oil continue to be the main created at the village level, and viable market chains products. Low global prices for these commodities developed for products, this will also contribute to create little incentive for producers, and failure to reducing rural poverty. replant coconut palms has led to an overall picture of senile trees and declining production. Coconuts are currently mostly processed into copra and low-grade coconut oil.

  • Pine Nuts: a Review of Recent Sanitary Conditions and Market Development
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 17 July 2017 doi:10.20944/preprints201707.0041.v1 Peer-reviewed version available at Forests 2017, 8, 367; doi:10.3390/f8100367 Article Pine nuts: a review of recent sanitary conditions and market development Hafiz Umair M. Awan 1 and Davide Pettenella 2,* 1 Department of Forest Science, University of Helsinki, Finland; [email protected], [email protected] 2 Department Land, Environment, Agriculture and Forestry – University of Padova, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-049-827-2741 Abstract: Pine nuts are non-wood forest products (NWFP) with constantly growing market notwithstanding a series of phytosanitary issues and related trade problems. The aim of paper is to review the literature on the relationship between phytosanitary problems and trade development. Production and trade of pine nuts in Mediterranean Europe have been negatively affected by the spreading of Sphaeropsis sapinea (a fungus) associated to an adventive insect Leptoglossus occidentalis (fungal vector), with impacts on forest management activities, production and profitability and thus in value chain organization. Reduced availability of domestic production in markets with growing demand has stimulated the import of pine nuts. China has become a leading exporter of pine nuts, but its export is affected by a symptom associated to the nuts of some pine species: the ‘pine nut syndrome’ (PNS). Most of the studies embraced during the review are associated to PNS occurrence associated to the nuts of Pinus armandii. In the literature review we highlight the need for a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to the analysis of the pine nuts value chain organization, where research on food properties and clinical toxicology be connected to breeding and forest management, forest pathology and entomology and trade development studies.
