The IUFRO/CIFOR Discussion Forum at the Global Landscapes Forum in Lima, Peru, presents:
New Findings on the Dynamics between Forests, Land Use and Food Security
Sunday, 7 December, 16:00 – 17:30 in Cusco Salon 3
Mandated by the Collaborative Partnership on Forests (CPF), a Global Forest Expert Panel (GFEP) is investigating the diverse roles of forests in contributing to food security, dietary diversity and nutrition.
