Working Groups will concentrate their work on research Tasks 1 to 4 in relation to a type of NWFP. To ensure that it will be possible to look at each of those Tasks as whole considering European NWFPs, cross-cutting Task forces (TFs) will be created. Such Task forces will ensure that each WG will work in a comparable way and it will be possible later to integrate the work of each WG. In addition, it is expected that the work being carried out by Task forces will help the liaison between working groups as it will be following up the simultaneous advances being produced on them. The TFs to be created will be as follows:
- Task force 1: Identification and ecology of NWFPs in Europe (TF1)
- Task force 2: NWFP data and models: state of the art, needs and improvements (TF2)
- Task force 3: Optimising co-production of NWFPs (TF3)
- Task force 4: Economics, marketing and policies for NWFPs (TF4)
