This document discusses farmers' forests and small-scale forest management. It describes how farmers domesticate trees, ecosystems, and landscapes by bringing nature into the human sphere through practices like grafting selected varieties, planting, manipulating forest regeneration and development, developing infrastructure like terraces and buildings, and introducing rights. It also discusses the material and immaterial human components of domesticated forests, including their economic, symbolic, and intergenerational importance. The document notes that forest and agricultural policies do not fully acknowledge the multidimensional value of local forests and that a sustainable development framework may be more favorable. It presents new opportunities for community forests, local product certification, and environmental services but cautions about long-term trends and global trade policies that
