Forests and trees contribute in multifaceted ways to the livelihoods of rural families. The interface between forest and forest dwelling communities received increasing attention from social scientists and policy makers due to its importance from the view point of community welfare and sustainable forest management. Minor forest produces (MFPs) are not only a source of subsistence income but also source for employment, health care, domestic consumption to poor households in the hinterlands. Thus considering the vital role of forest produces in the livelihoods of rural families, an attempt has been made to analyse the economics of minor forest produces. This book mainly covers income & employment of tribal households, marketing of forest produces, factors influencing income of households and problems faced by households. The subject matter has been presented in simple language. We hope that this compelling book be widely available to students, scientists, researchers, policy makers, staff of agricultural economics across the country so as to enrich their knowledge about forest produces.
