چکیده
The Non Timber Forest Products (NTFP) value chains are viewed as an alternative for the forest conservation and for the improvement of life conditions of Traditional Communities. These products are part of different chemical, cosmetic, food and pharmaceutical industries, which are trying to improve the sustainability of their supply chains. For the improvement of interorganizational NTFP network in the Amazon region, an adapted value chain map was structured to map the Value Network and foster the strategic planning process. The mapping tool brought the whole scenario view for planning process, helping to integrate knowledge, values and perspectives, resulting in a common view for the NTFP Value Network future.
