Beyond fixes that fail: identifying sustainable improvements to tree seed supply and farmer participation in forest and landscape restoration

Abstract: Growing evidence suggests that constraints to the availability and quality of tree seed can undermine the success of forest and landscape restoration efforts and the delivery of associated benefits such as mitigating climate change and halting biodiversity loss. Past experiences to promote tree seed supply have frequently shown limited outcomes over time, partly because of unexpected, deleterious dynamics that emerged from the interventions themselves. In this study, we used a dynamic system approach to unders… Show more

“…This includes the origin of the material, predicted suitability for a restoration site, and its genetic diversity [19,21]. Seed harvesting and production can involve a wide variety of stakeholders, including indigenous and local communities, farmers, private landowners, protected areas, and public and private sector actors [22].…”

“…Local communities can have high species ecological knowledge, but they frequently lack access to technical information on legal requirements and market opportunities for participating in seed supply for restoration (Brancalion et al 2012 ; Silva et al 2016 ). Participatory approaches for activating community-based systems rely on meaningful and long-lasting relationships between multiple stakeholders, including seed suppliers and users (Valette et al 2020 ). Organizations with expertise in ecosystem restoration—such as government agencies, NGOs, and universities—play a crucial role in identifying seed market demands or stimulating restoration projects (Richards et al 2015 ).…”

“…Community networks rely on complex relationships between multiple stakeholders responsible for exchanging skills, knowledge, and resources to operate the seed production chains (Valette et al 2020 ). Coordinating the various interactions among local members and stakeholders outside the communities requires clear understanding of roles, rights, and responsibilities (Atkinson et al 2018 ).…”

“…The tree seed framework consists of a mix of a 'state-run' and 'incentives-led' model, as the government both produces and distributes seed through its 11 regional mechanised nurseries and incentivises and contracts stakeholders such as People's Organisations (local community organisations), academia and private enterprises to produce seed for implementing the eNGP. Similarly, according to regulations, accredited seed sources can be established on both public and private lands [55,56].…”
