Join us in conversation, knowledge sharing and collaboration on forestry.
The forest provides raw materials for products that are used on a daily basis in every home around the world.
Replacing fossil-based and carbon-intensive materials with renewable wood-based products is an effective way to combat climate change.
Forest residue increases Europe’s energy independence and is one of the few large-scale renewable energy sources that we have access to.
About us
Future of Forestry is a platform for conversation, knowledge sharing and collaboration in forest-related EU issues. The protection and development of forest biodiversity is a key issue for the present and future forest industry – and a prerequisite for forest raw materials to continue replacing fossil raw materials in society.
Future of Forestry is an initiative by FAM – a privately-owned Swedish holding company that manages assets as an active owner with a long-term ownership horizon.
Feel free to contact us at contact@futureforestry.se to be part of the conversation about the most important resource for the future of Europe and the EU.
