Forest Value Chain Optimization is a whole view of the forests vast opportunity to be converted into emerging products in the bio-economy. As the traditional forest products sector attempts to hold on for efficiency improvement to survive with legacy products, this book demonstrates that the forest products industry can evolve through value chain optimization to enhance the competitiveness of the forest sector into the future. -Jason Linkewich, Chair NSERC VCO Network, & President, Linksedge Ltd., Canada The book looks excellent. I think you have had the strongest group in the world dealing with management of the forest industries. The collaborative approach behind this book has led to world-class knowledge in the field of value chain optimization and sustainability. I commend the Canadian researchers, the Canadian industry and FPInnovations for this major contribution. Congratulations! -Andres Weintraub, Professor, Universidad de Chile, Chile The innovative and excellent work conducted by the VCO Network is an outstanding inspiration and will strengthen the forestry-based value chains. The cooperation between Skogforsk and the VCO Network regarding the value chain optimization in forest operations has been very fruitful and highly apreciated. -Gert Andersson, Programme Manager, Uppsala, Sweden
