Dear friends and B.Forest readers,

Dear friends and B.Forest readers,

Be it in moments of prosperity or in times of crisis, it is crucial for companies, research organizations and government institutions to be united in synergy so that the forestry and timber industries may be successful. This is the reason why technical events and specialized trade fairs are vital for these markets, as they allow participants to exchange knowledge, present new technologies and discuss market trends.
This issue of the B.Forest magazine is packed with content aimed at the big events in our sector. Aside from the full coverage of the International Timber Week and the Lignum Latin America trade fair, we also have an exclusive interview with Edson Iede, director of Embrapa Florestas, who tells us a little about the main trends for IUFRO 2019, the biggest forestry conference in the world.
Moreover, we have a special report on a great technological tendency for the forestry sector: the aerial application of pesticides and other substances which are essential for the prosperity of any forestry business.
October is also a month of celebration: the launch of this 60th issue marks the five years of uninterrupted coverage of the forestry sector by B.Forest. Don’t miss our special review of this last half decade.
