Abstract

:

The authors provide an overview of the English language literature on various aspects of NTFP development and synthesize the key lessons. They identify problems inherent to the field of study, highlight difficulties arising out of inconsistent nomenclature and definition, and identify the relatively poor baseline of systematically collected data about NTFPs. They also note that there has been inadequate attention paid to theoretical issues with the result that NTFP research has not fully benefited from advances in other related fields. Their conclusions help set the stage for new research that is needed in this area.
