The Importance of Forest for Soil, Food, and Climate Security in Asia

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Biodiversity, Conservation and Sustainability in Asia

Abstract

Forests help in building soils through varying amounts of litter and root inputs. The forest decay adds essential nutrients to the soils which leads to nutritious food and fruits, thereby maintaining food and nutritional security. The forests deliver other ecosystem services as well such as provision of timber and non-timber forest products (NTFPs) to tribal people as tangible benefits, maintaining soil, food, and environmental security through the process of carbon sequestration which helps in confirming climate security in the Asian continent. Absorption of carbon by the forest vegetation and soils is a good strategy which not only mitigates global warming but also balances CO2 and O2 in the atmosphere. For food and nutritional security, there is a great need to develop this aspect through better scientific management of forests and soils. There is a linking concept and great nexus among the healthy forests, better soil quality, and FNS under the ongoing changing climate in Asia and the world. Therefore, there should be a win-win strategic and effective policy along with recent technology and research for the better forest productivity which is strongly linked to the nation-building and development.
