| description |
In this book we focus on the ‘underutilized’ indigenous fruit trees in order
to further promote recognition of the role they can play in meeting the rural
development goals of the new millennium. This role is currently being
highlighted by the International Assessment of Agricultural Science and
Technology for Development (IAASTD), which recognizes that sustainable
agriculture is dependent on the multifunctionality of farming systems,
supporting environmental and social sustainability, providing food, enhancing
health and nutrition, while at the same time promoting economic growth.
Although the concepts and principles presented in this book are not unique to
the tropics, we have chosen to concentrate on the IFT species of the tropics
and subtropics, as they have the greatest underutilized potential. This volume
has gathered together contributions providing state-of-the-art information on
IFT research and development to complement existing knowledge – principally
from proceedings of conferences and technical meetings (Leakey and Newton,
1994; Maghembe, 1995; Leakey and Izac, 1996; Shumba et al., 2000), special issues of scientific journals (Leakey and Page, 2006), and a range of research
articles, species monographs and agroforestry textbooks. The studies reported
in this book span a wide range of approaches and practices. The authors have
experience in all facets of the fruit-tree supply chain – from wild collection to
the nursery (propagation, cultivation), utilization and marketing; from academic
research to the practical needs of farmers, marketeers, industry, policy makers
and investors. |
