MOSEFA - Monitoring the Socio-Economic Situation of European Farm Forestry

The objectives of this Concerted Action FAIR3 CT96-1414 were:

1. to make the existing experiences and expertise on farm forestry accountancy data networks generally available;
2. to outline approaches for an international socio-economic scheme of statistics on farm forestry taking into consideration the heterogeneity of enterprises as well as the diversity of the underlying legal, social and economical framework and the respective national goals in forest policy;
3. to develop a common methodological framework/guidelines for collecting socio-economic data of farm forestry enterprises adaptable to different purposes and various conditions;
4. to identify the most essential research needs and prepare further research activities at the Community level on this subject.

The results of this project have been published in EFI Research Report 12. The MOSEFA Workshop Proceedings are available as EFI Proceedings 20 and 28.
