#flare10 working group on "forests sustaining agriculture" discussing policy pathways for impact based on evidence that forests & trees contribute to agricultural production systems. The FLARE platform has been invaluable for the functioning of this working group over the years!

Our own @debbieapie & @alida_oconnor presenting their PhD research @ #flare10 in Rome. Very proud to see such progress in their studies and shared with a very receptive and like-minded community of practice on forests and livelihoods. @sunderland_lab @UBCForestry

Thank you @pdculbert_UBC for a fantastic tour of the ecological history and species composition of Pacific Spirit Regional Park with our @MIF_UBC students @UBCForestry. "If you don't know what it is, you can't manage it!"

We visited the Sunshine Coast Community Forest where we engaged in discussions on ecosystem-based forest management. Great day of learning! #CommunityForestry #InternationalForestry
