The UN's Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) says more nations around the world are realizing the positive contribution that the forestry industry can make to the development of a green economy.

Viet Nam has decided to pursue a “green economy” and FAO is supporting these efforts through several projects aimed at promoting sustainable forest livelihoods.
