ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS-III Environment: India's forests and wood-based industry need credible proof of sustainable sourcing, and reliance on foreign certification schemes adds cost and dependence. A national scheme like IFWCS, with PRAMAAN certificates, can help domestic producers and farm-forestry growers access markets and support sustainable forest management. The way forward is wide uptake by growers and industry, strong accreditation and audit systems, and international recognition of the certificates.
