Article Synopsis
- Managing private forests for wildfire resilience faces challenges due to conflicting social, economic, and ecological factors that can increase fire risk via higher surface fuel loads.
- Land managers in fire-prone areas need effective fuel treatment options, especially with rising threats from severe fires due to climate change and fire suppression strategies.
- The study reveals that silvopasture management, which integrates livestock grazing with forest management, can effectively reduce fuel loads and wildfire risk compared to non-grazed managed forests.
Unlabelled: In the last few decades, the emergence of mid-scale, intermediated marketing channels that fall between commodity and direct markets has attracted growing interest from scholars for their potential to preserve small and mid-sized farms while scaling up alternative agrifood sourcing. When such mid-scale supply chains are formed among multiple business partners with shared ethics or values related to the qualities of the food and the business relationships along the supply chain, they may be termed "values-based supply chains (VBSCs)." Most of the research on VBSCs to date has relied primarily on a case study approach that investigates the performance of VBSCs from the perspective of VBSC founders or leaders.
