If anyone out there wants a reading / analysis of this document get in
touch: http://forestpolicyresearch.com

This discussion paper outlines the major issues to be dealt with by
decision-makers at international, national and sub-national levels
when considering whether to establish and expand forest plantations
for sustainable production in a particular country of area. There has
been renewed interest in forest plantations in recent years, both
among the public and from private groups, and in the general consensus
is that forest plantations will increase in importance in the coming
years.

In the paper the costs and benefits of forest plantations are
analyzed in environmental (PLANET), economic (PROFIT) and social
(PEOPLE) terms. Process aspects (the fourth P) are also discussed at
various levels to ensure stakeholder dialogue, coordination and
decision-making when dealing with the first three Ps. The complete
