In some regions, as a result of population growth, climate change and forest degradation, the increased need for wood, whether for timber or fuelwood, will exceed the sustainable supply capacity of natural forests and plantations, potentially accelerating deforestation processes. As with the issue of food security, a problem of "wood supply security" is emerging in several developing countries. This issue is poorly understood by most international initiatives focused on climate or biodiversity, which want to conserve forests but neglect the importance of the productive role of forests to support this conservation through their sustainable use. Solutions exist, but a number of barriers, starting with unclear tenure rights and shortsighted policy choices, prevent the large-scale deployment of these ones. Putting investment back at the forefront of the international agenda and setting the right incentives for producers is necessary to overcome these barriers and create the conditions for achieving future results sought by the "results-based payments" schemes such as REDD+, currently favoured by donors. Beyond the production side, the role of the global demand and the consumers is critical, and trade policies should evolve significantly to favour sustainable and deforestation-free productions.

Biofuels are, in turn, defined as fuels derived from biomass (i.e., matter of a biological origin). Biofuels can be further subdivided by type (solid, liquid or gas) and by origin (forest, agriculture or municipal waste). Biofuels from forests and agriculture (woodfuel and agrofuel) can come from a wide range of sources (e.g., forests, farms, specially grown energy crops and waste after harvesting or processing of wood or food crops). At the global level in 2005, primary solid biomass accounted for 95 percent of Total primary energy supply (TPES) from bioenergy, while biogas and bioethanol accounted for about two percent each Bioenergy Development: issues and impacts for poverty and natural resource management issuE 49

Each year, forests covering an area the size of Portugal (approximately 92,000 km2) are cut down. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that during the 1990s, the world suffered a net loss of 95 million hectares of forests – an area larger than Venezuela – with most of the losses occurring in the tropics. The loss of 161 million hectares of natural forests to deforestation was somewhat offset by 15 million hectares of afforestation (deliberate creation of forest where none existed before), 36 million hectares of natural expansion of forests, and 15 million hectares of reforestation.

The dialogue brought together thirty-six participants from diverse backgrounds, including forest (predominately) and food products companies, commodity roundtables, research institutes, and organizations representing government, conservation, landowners, labor, women, and Indigenous peoples. This dialogue was the first of TFD’s new Initiative on Food, Fuel, Fiber and Forests (4Fs). The 4Fs Initiative is designed to:
