Information
on the menu of choice of globally existing and local tree diversity
is still a basis for any farmers’ decision to plant, manage or
harvest trees; access to quality planting material remains a major
constraint for farmers who want to make more use of trees on their
farm and in their landscapes; the security of market access as well
as the price for tree products derived from agroforestry is often
limited by rules and the uncertainty over the way such rules change,
linked to consumers and their quality concerns, while smallholder
producers have little actual information. |

We
work on a wide range of trees, including highly-domesticated trees
grown using 'agricultural' practices, as well as trees that grow
within 'forest' or 'forest-like' communities within broader
'agroforestry landscapes', all of which can be managed in
a variety of ways to produce a variety of products. |
