The Sustainable Forestry & African American Land Retention (SFLR) exists to create a sustainable system of support for African American and rural land and forest owners that significantly increases the value of African American-owned forests through sustainable forestry practices, land retention services, technical assistance, and more.
Emerging Markets
Emerging markets are a growing set of income opportunities — beyond traditional timber and row crops — that allow landowners to generate revenue from what their forests and fields already produce. These markets vary in maturity, entry requirements, and potential returns, so understanding your options is the first step toward finding what fits your land and your goals. At SFLR, we've organized these opportunities into three categories: Agroforestry, Specialty Timber, and Secondary & Frontier Markets.
