Definitions: Emerging crops and non-timber forest products (NTFPs) :

According to Quebec's Institut de technologie agroalimentaire (ITA), emerging crops include new crops such as certain berries, nut and hazelnut crops, non-timber forest products and energy crops.

Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) come from native or naturalized plant species, grown or harvested in natural forests or plantations. They are defined as products or by-products of forest plants, other than woody material (fiber), intended for the lumber, pulp and paper, firewood or charcoal industries. The commercial uses associated with NTFPs are varied: food and food additives, aromatic plants, resins, essential oils, biofuels, medicinal products, cosmeceuticals and ornamental products.
