Marketing of agricultural biodiversity: a value chain approach to protect and exploit native fruit tree diversity in South and Southeast Asia
Agricultural biodiversity is shrinking very fast. That said, there are still a few farmers who continue to maintain, innovate and disseminate fruit tree diversity in their home gardens and orchards. The study was conducted in 36 communities of India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand to find out w...

On-farm conservation of tropical fruit tree diversity: roles and motivations of custodian farmers and emerging threats and challenges
Both men and women have specific local ecological knowledge of native fruit tree species. Excluding women from research-for-development initiatives is problematic because it can limit their access to the benefits derived from improved managemnet and use of fruit diversity. A study was conducted t...

Sarawak, Malaysia, is home to a wide range of native fruit tree species (NFTs) that contribute to the livelihoods of rural women and men. Yet, most agricultural research in the area, and elsewhere, has focused on commercial, non-native species, and the economic potential of lesser-known NFTs has ...
