International Analogue Forestry Network (sustainable landuse)

The International Analog Forestry Network (IAFN)

The network is a collection of local organizations around the world, who are adopting the principles of Analog Forestry and applying them to their local environment. Information is provided through the network members to interested groups from the non-profit sector, the donor community, government ministries and farmer's organizations.

Membership in the Analog Forestry Network is open to any local organization that is working with their communities in activities of agroforestry, reforestation, or biodiversity conservation and who would like to apply the techniques of Analog Forestry to their work.

The Networks goals are to:
  • exchange information and experiences
  • initiate arboreta and tree nurseries.
  • implement a five year plan aiming for all partners to be involved in the certification of 'Forest Garden Products' that will be sold for export.
