I have a background in Forestry and business administration and this day I believe we could improve the climate by making a forestry a attractive business that could create jobs and a wealth for poor countries like Ethiopia. I want to proceed my research that could be a start up to idea to persuade the different stakeholders in the sector. Is there any body have a work and interest in this field (Forest business management, forest product marketing).
Regards,
Thank you for your contact. I am very interested in forestry and forest economy. Do you mean REDD and REDD+ in Ethiopia ? or Do you have any specific idea ? I have worked more than 20 years in forest area, but it is not easy to make the economic improvement using forestry and timber production, and green tourism (recreational forests) as well. So, i have tried to estimate total economic values (non-market values) for public function values from forests in Korea. Let me know your specific area.
You see a lot of projects starting with this. For example take a look at carbify.io, they are planting trees but creating a business model out of it. Focus on Social Impact, Food Security and reforestation.
Always happy to exchange thoughts with you.
