The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) announced the creation of a fund to support FSC certification among small private, family, and community forest owners, or “smallholders.” In the first year, Euro 420,000 will be distributed from the fund.
“Smallholders are a cornerstone of the FSC system,” said Kim Carstensen, Director General of FSC International. “This fund is designed to help them – and the forests they manage – benefit from the FSC marketplace,” he added.
The fund will promote objectives such as certification readiness, compliance with FSC Principles and Criteria, strengthening smallholder organizations, building capacity for entrepreneurship, enhancing supply chain management and improving market access for FSC-certified products.
