From the deep and near past, it is evident that our society is driving our planet along a colli‐ sion course with environmental crisis. Our economies are consuming much more than the Earth can provide. Humans are using up the capital of the Earth when it should be living from the interest. This is also the case of great natural resources as forests are. Across the world, forests, trees on farms, and agroforestry systems play a crucial role in the livelihoods of rural people by providinge employment, energy, nutritious foods and a wide range of other goods and ecosystem services. Forests have tremendous potential to contribute to sus‐ tainable development and to a greener economy. Yet, clear evidence of this has been lacking. This evidence is critical to inform policies on forest management and use, and to ensure that the benefits from forests are recognized in the post-2015 development agenda, not only with respect to the environment, but also for their contributions to broader social issues (http:// www.fao.org/forestry/sofo/en/). Through the 4 sections and 12 chapters derived from around the world, this book is adressing the negative and positive human interference on forests (section I), management, governance and policy (section II), economic and social is‐ sues (section III) and ecological, environmental and other issues (section IV).
