Growing More Than Trees: Forestry’s Role in Food Security and Livelihoods
International Day of Forests on 21 March 2025 highlights the vital role that both indigenous and planted forests play in sowing the seeds of change. This year’s theme focuses on forests and food, emphasising their importance in food security, nutrition, and livelihoods. Forestry South Africa (FSA) views this day as an opportunity to recognise the interconnection between our sector and the rural communities it supports.
