Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) management by the forest farmers group (FFG) is not optimal. This condition is thought to be related to the low quality of empowerment of FFG. This can be influenced by the effectiveness of group leadership, extension support, and support for external environmental factors as well as group internal environmental factors. The purposes of the study were: 1) to analyze the factors that influence the quality of FFG empowerment in the management of NTFPs and 2) to formulate model for improving the quality of FFG empowerment in the management of NTFP. The study was conducted in Desember 2016 - April 2017 in East Lampung District, Lampung Province and Sleman District, DI Yogyakarta Province. Respondents were 248 members of FFG who manage NTFPs based on census. The data were analyzed by using descriptive technique and Structural Equations Model. Result of the study showed that the factors that influence the quality of empowerment are extension support as well as FFG internal environment support.Efforts to improve the quality of empowerment can be carried out with:1) a model of enhancement of extension support that empowers FFG towards filtering power, competitiveness, and partnership power and 2) a model of increasing support for conducive internal environmental factors.

Desa Uwemanje terletak pada ketinggian >400 m dpl dan merupakan salah satu desa berpotensi di lereng pegunungan Gawalise. Karena berada di pegunungan maka desa ini memiliki topografi berbukit terjal dimana sebagian besar lahan memiliki tingkat kemiringan lereng lebih dari 40%, sehingga praktek pertanian termasuk agroforestri di desa ini sangat rawan terhadap erosi dan degradasi lahan lainnya. Komoditas utama terpenting di desa ini adalah Hasil Hutan Bukan Kayu seperti tegakan tusam yang telah berumur lebih dari 35 tahun dan merupakan hasil reboisasi oleh Dinas Kehutanan Kabupaten Donggala pada lahan kritis yang berada di desa ini. Tegakan tusam berperan penting dalam konservasi tanah dan penyimpan air (water reservoir) bagi sumber mata air. Namun, kondisinya saat ini sangat mengkhawatirkan, selain berumur tua, tegakan tusam banyak mati karena diserang oleh hama dan patogen. Salah satu kegiatan dalam program Ipteks Bagi Desa Mitra (IbDM) ini adalah pembibitan tusam (Pinus merkusii Jungh & de Vriese) bekerjasama dengan mitra tiga kelompok tani hutan di desa tersebut. Bibit tusam dari pembibitan ini diharapkan menjadi pengganti tegakan tusam yang telah tua atau akan ditanam pada lahan-lahan kritis yang masih luas di desa ini. Oleh karena itu, dalam rangka peningkatan pendapatan masyarakat serta usaha konservasi hutan dan perlindungan tanah dan air di desa ini, perlu dilakukan program pengabdian dalam hal teknik pembibitan tusam bagi anggota kelompok tani hutan tersebut. Metode-metode pendekatan yang ditawarkan dalam kegiatan ini adalah dalam bentuk pendidikan dan pelatihan bagi anggota kelompok tani mitra dengan menggunakan metode penyuluhan dan pendampingan yang berupa bimbingan teknis dan pembinaan kelompok tani dalam pembibitan tusam. Hasil pelaksanaan program yang telah dilaksanakan yaitu tersedianya ±3000 bibit tusam yang berkualitas yang siap ditanam oleh para anggota kelompok tani dan areal pembibitan tusam bagi kelompok tani. Selain itu, terjadi peningkatan pengetahuan dan keterampilan anggota kelompok tani hutan terutama dalam hal teknik pembibitan tusam.[The village of Uwemanje lies at an altitude of >400 m asl and is one of the potential villages on the slopes of the Gawalise mountains. Because it is located in the mountains, the village has a steep hilly topography where most of the land has a slope of more than 40%, so agricultural practices including agroforestry in this village are very vulnerable to erosion and other land degradation. The most important commodities in this village are Non-Timber Forest Products such as pine (Pinus merkusii Jungh & de Vriese) stands that have been more than 35 years old, and are the result of reforestation by the Forestry Service of Donggala District on the critical land located in this village. Pine stand plays an important role in soil conservation and water reservoir (water reservoir). However, the pine trees current condition is very worrying, in addition to old age, many pine trees die because of being attacked by pests and pathogens. One of the activities in science and technology program for Desa Mitra (IbDM) is a tusam nursery in collaboration with partners of three forest farmer groups in the village. The pine seedlings are expected to be a substitute for old pine stands or to be planted on the vast critical lands in the village. Therefore, in order to increase community income and forest conservation and soil and water protection in this village, it is necessary to do devotion program in the technique of pine nursery for members of forest farmer group. The methods of approach offered in this activity are in the form of education and training for members of partner farmer groups by using counseling and mentoring methods in the form of technical guidance and guidance of farmer groups in pine nurseries. The results of the implementation of the program that has been implemented is the availability of ± 3000 pine seedlings that are ready to be planted by members of farmer groups and pine nursery areas for farmer groups. In addition, there is an increased knowledge and skills of members of forest farmer groups, especially in terms of pine nursery techniques.]

The paper recognizes Non Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) as contributing factor for improving livelihoods of the rural people. Existing trend of NTFPs in Rolpa district reveals high level of its potential where a single Malagiri tree in the one of the VDC of the district has yielded profit of 15, 000 NRs. in gross. The study supports idea that the quality of life can be secured through the promotion of NTFP as an additional crop for safety net.  Major outlet clusters for NTFP trade and marketing of the Rolpa district are Sulichaur and Holeri regions where mostly NTFP species were found to be traded.  Malagiri, Timur, Ritha and Allo are major local species that have a high level of demand in the market. As a result, people have started cultivating a few species in their farmland too. Lack of knowledge and skill in the production of standard commodity has compelled district people towards traditional NTFP farming approach where they are not reaping optimum benefit. Realizing the potential of NTFPs in the district, it is important to consider modernizing the processing of raw material, development of transportation network and undertake facility for the producers. Such intervention could be a major breakthrough in the poverty reduction of the district and securing quality of life.

Kutai National Park is the conservation forest in East Kalimantan, which can be used for community welfare through non-timber forest products utilization. One of the superior commoditty of non-timber forest products in Kandolo Village under the guidance of Kutai National Park is Genjah Sugar Palm (Arenga pinata Merr). This research objective was to determine the morphology, productivity and quality of the east kutai native genjah sugar palm. The materials used are fresh sap, the method of making palm sugar was by heating for 3 hours to evaporate the water. The heating is ended after it becomes thickened. After thickening, the stew is immediately removed from the heat. Before printing the thick sap is stirred so the heat is more evenly distributed. The result of research shows that the morphology of genjah sugar palm is very unique, because it has a short tree shape and a production age of 5-6 years. The productivity was quite high, the yield of sap is more than 12 liters day-1 , the duration of tapping is > 3 months tree1 . The chemical compound quality of genjah palm sugar had water content, ash, sacrose, reducing sugar, copper and mercury content of 2.24%, 1.76%, 95.48%, 1.02%, 1.62 ppm and 0.01 ppm

The gravity model was used in this paper to clarify the influencing factors of the export value of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) for Vietnam from 2003 to 2017. The estimates of this model indicate the importance of the size of economies, distance, common borders, exchange rates, average forest area, the natural forest closing (NFC) policy of the Vietnamese government, sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) measures, and the interaction of SPS and importers’ GDP (SPS–GDP) as determinants of Vietnam’s NTFP exports. The main result of this study is the distinct and contradictory effects of the NFC policy and SPS measures. While the NFC policy increases the value of Vietnam’s NTFP exports, SPS measures significantly decrease the exportation. Using the SPS–GDP interaction variable yields a noticeable result: the negative impact of SPS on NTFP trade decreases with increasing income of NTFP importers. Furthermore, the NFC needs to continue to implement policies to increase investments in the NTFP trade and increase the quality of NTFPs from planting, to harvesting, to processing to meet the requirements of future importers. The findings offer several implications both in theory and in practice for trade policies and economic development theory based on Vietnam’s forest resources.

Abstract The global prevalence of obesity has been rising at an alarming rate, accompanied by an increase in both childhood and maternal obesity. The concept of metabolic programming is highly topical, and in this context, describes a predisposition of offspring of obese mothers to the development of obesity independent of environmental factors. Research published in this issue of Clinical Science conducted by Litzenburger and colleagues (Clin. Sci. (Lond.) (2020) 134, 921–939) have identified sex-dependent differences in metabolic programming and identify putative signaling pathways involved in the differential phenotype of adipose tissue between males and females. Delineating the distinction between metabolically healthy and unhealthy obesity is a topic of emerging interest, and the precise nature of adipocytes are key to pathogenesis, independent of adipose tissue volume.

Protected Areas (PAs) are created for the protection and maintenance of biological diversity, but many of Ghana’s PAs are subjectto severe pressures and threats, the main pressures being the illegal extraction of natural resources. Rattans are indisputablyone of the most important Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) in Ghana’s Protected Areas that is without doubt one of thereasons for which it has drawn the attention of researchers. In this study the illegal rattan extraction patterns in the AnkasaConservation Area (ACA) in Ghana was inspected. Simple random sampling and Snowball sampling techniques were used. Datacollection employed the use of semi-structured questionnaires, interviews and field enumeration of rattans as well as an analysisof Effective Patrol Man-days (EPMDS) from 2004 to 2012. The results showed a significant positive correlation (r = 0.75, p<0.05, r2 = 0.557) between patrol effort and rattan extraction encounters. In addition, there was a general reduction in illegalrattan extraction encounters from 2004 to 2012 at a rate of 4.3 per year. The highest illegal rattan extraction incidences wererecorded in 2006 (76 encounters), 2005 (35 encounters), 2008 (22 encounters), 2004 (18 encounters) and the least incidencewere recorded in both 2010 (3 encounters) and 2011 (3 encounters).The research also revealed that Eremospatha macrocarpawas the most extracted rattan species followed by Laccosperma secundiflorum. The major rattan extraction and trade routesoriginate in the northern parts and in the area east of the reserve and also south of Draw River Forest Reserve. Generally, rattanpoaching in Ankasa Conservation Area has declined, but there are still human incursions in the northern part of the reserve. Thestudy recommended an intensification of patrols in the north of the reserve. Also, enrichment planting and Agroforestry practicesof inter-cropping rattans with seasonal crops should be pursued vigorously for the local communities.
