- 12. Transforming Lives and Landscapes with Trees Conclusions ➢The portfolio approach makes use of location-specific data to not only capture the socio-ecological dynamics of smallholder food production diversity but uniquely includes individual food consumption data to inform knowledge on local dietary gaps. ➢16 location-specific food tree and crops portfolios in East Africa developed → flexibility of methodology + potential to scale geographically ➢Food composition data for 90+ food tree species & underutilised crops, can inform prioritisation of crops for mainstreaming in local (and global) food systems ➢The portfolios and the database are important tools to support decision- making for recommending healthier food production in local food systems.
