Parkia biglobosa (Fabaceae-Mimosoideae) is one of the most important and widespread trees in
agroforestry systems from Senegal to Uganda. The National Tree Seed Center (CNSF) of Burkina
Faso has developed a breeding and improvement program for this multipurpose tree. To better
conserve and promote the best reproductive materials for domestication, it is important to
understand how farmers perceive and manage the species in their fields. Farmers appear to have
an active role in shaping tree species diversity and richness, affecting also the overall spatial
distribution, density, and structure of tree populations. We examined some choices made by
farmers with regard to species and individuals to be maintained, and practices used to conserve
trees

Bioversity International is a global research-for-development organization. We have a vision – that agricultural biodiversity nourishes people and sustains the planet.
We deliver scientific evidence, management practices and policy options to use and safeguard agricultural and tree biodiversity to attain sustainable global food and nutrition security.
We work with partners in low-income countries in different regions where agricultural and tree biodiversity can contribute to improved nutrition, resilience, productivity and climate change adaptation.
