Description
Summary:Most researchers of the problems and prospects of the forest sector focus their attention on issues related to the concept of sustainable development. Sparsely wooded regions of Russia face a lot of obstacles, which makes the search for promising directions for the development of the forest sector in these regions with an active role of state support urgent. The work investigates the forest sector of Kursk region: the main problems and trends observed in its forest sector are noted, the key features of its forest resources are discussed. The directions for the development of the forest sector in the region and the related tasks of state support are formulated. All proposals are based on an orientation towards stimulating the use of local wood raw materials in those types of regional industries that are least demanding on the quality of raw materials. The following is proposed: (a) development of elements of “forest-oriented” environmental legislation; (b) regulatory support of demand for local renewable energy sources through diversification of heat supply to social infrastructure facilities; (c) setting quotas for the share of local wood raw materials consumed by enterprises.
