Many drivers of deforestation, such as urban development and land-use policies that favour large-scale development of palm oil or soya, also lie outside the forest sector. While it can be difficult to analyse the impact of forest-related measures separately from broader economic, social and environmental measures and trends, it is important that these potential interactions not be overlooked, and that the development of forest policies be integrated with wider economic, social and environmental ones. For example, forests do not normally come to mind when considering food security policies, and their value in supporting sustainable agriculture and providing ecosystem services is often overlooked. A review of documents related to climate change revealed that some countries with substantial areas of forest did not address the role of forests in adapting or strengthening resilience.
