https://www.taxtmi.com/article/detailed?id=14144 FSC certification requires forest management that meets environmental, social and economic standards-protecting biodiversity, ensuring regeneration (natural or assisted), safeguarding worker and indigenous rights, and sustaining forest-based livelihoods. It promotes reforestation of degraded or previously forested lands and incentivises restoration through market premiums and carbon credit potential, and encourages agroforestry and buffer zones. However, FSC does not mandate large-scale afforestation of non-forested land or resolve competing land-use priorities; broader afforestation depends on complementary government policies, investment, and community engagement. en-us Fri, 18 Apr 2025 08:39:16 +0530 Fri, 18 Apr 2025 08:39:16 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/article/detailed?id=14144 FSC certification requires forest management that meets environmental, social and economic standards-protecting biodiversity, ensuring regeneration (natural or assisted), safeguarding worker and indigenous rights, and sustaining forest-based livelihoods.
