FSC, together with an advisory group of members, has committed a study to identify if and when we can consider intensified forestry as sustainable, (Forestry Intensification for Shared Value). Coming from this work, we found that implementing shared value can make intensification sustainable if shared value is considered at the landscape level, not just at the FMU level.
Shared values are the positive result of (intensified) forestry, such as in plantations, which are commonly recognized amongst the different stakeholder groups (social, environmental and economic) across the wider landscape.
