This document discusses how agroforestry can be mainstreamed in biodiversity conservation efforts. It outlines several ways that agroforestry contributes to biodiversity conservation by reducing pressure on natural forests, providing habitat, and serving as a benign land use matrix. The document argues that landscape-scale approaches that integrate protected areas, agroforestry, and other land uses are needed. It provides examples of agroforestry practices that embody conservation principles like maintaining genetic diversity and enhancing ecological processes. Finally, it proposes several options for mainstreaming agroforestry, such as linking it to conservation planning, expanding agroforestry options, and strategic alliances between agroforestry and conservation organizations.
This presentation describes a study to identify plants and plant parts that show potential as sustainable harvested ‘super-foods’. This included both wild foods traditionally used in Southern Africa (with a focus on the communal areas of the Wild Coast, Eastern Cape South Africa), as well as potential foods not traditionally used , but with high nutritional values. The methods used included development of a data base of wild food utilized in Southern Africa, with a focus on the communal areas of the Eastern Cape (literature review and personal observations); collation of available nutritional data (macro and micro nutrients) into a database for wild food plants for southern Africa. To assist in ranking nutritional values, two nutritional indices were used: the % Complete Food Index and the Nutritional Density Index).
This report develops a definition of a ‘superfoods’ based on number of criteria. Species that have been successfully commercialized, marketed as nutritional supplements, and that provide direct benefits to communities, such as Maroela and Baobab, serve as role models for the development of wild foods enterprises in the communal areas of the Wild Coast
The results of this study show that there are a significant number of wild food plants have exceptionally high nutritional profiles and could qualify as a ‘super-food’. Food plants were grouped according to the plant part used, these included: wild leafy vegetables, fruits, and seeds and nuts.The wild leafy vegetables, commonly known as ‘wild spinach’,are cosmopolitan weeds that have been part of the traditional diets of many Africans. Of these, a number of Amaranth species have been identified that fit the nutritional profile of a ‘super-food’. Commonly used wild foods are often tree fruits, this study identifiedthe following wild fruits as having high potential for commercial harvesting, these include:Wild plum (Harpephyllum caffrum), two Red- milkwoods, (Mimisops Cafra and M. obvata), Num-num (Carissa Macrocarpa), Dune myrtle (Eugenia Capensis) and two Kei Apples (Dovyalis caffra, and D. rhamnoides. The third category of wild foods considered are seeds and nuts: trees identified for this group included the pods of Boer-bean trees (Schotia afra, and S. brachypetala),andthe valuable oils of the Natal and forest mahogany (Trichilia emetica, and T. dregiana) as well as the high oleic oil contained in the Coastal Red-milkwood (Mimusops caffra).

📌Free webinar on "Agroforestry to Mining Restoration"
Agroforestry is a land use management system in which an intentional combination of agriculture and forestry greatly enhances yields from staple food crops, enhances farmer livelihoods from income generation, increases biodiversity, improves soil structure and health, reduces erosion, and carbon sequestration. Beside this Mining restoration is the process of modifying land that has been mined to ecologically functional and economically usable state. Therefore, mining restoration is the great deal for Agroforestry in any developing or developed state for the optimal utilization of natural resources according to the increasing demand of the Market.
Purpose:
This webinar is a very general initiative to create awareness among our public , government and private companies about the alarming situation of Earth's climate. One of the solution to the increasing demand for food , shelter and living necessities due to over population ,can be restored through Agroforestry to mining restoration .This session is going to be a great contribution to the current problems , joining the session will also elevate your knowledge.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

1. Demystifying the Role of Agroforestry
in Biodiversity Conservation
Mohamed I Bakarr
ICRAF’s Scientific Renewal Seminar Series
2. Agroforestry….
Creates livelihood options
for poor farmers and their
families in conservation
landscapes
‘Agroforest’ forms of tree
crop production form a matrix
that matters for conservation
of biodiversity
Principles can be applied in
landscape approaches to
biodiversity conservation
…..needs to be mainstreamed.
4. Global Biodiversity Conservation
• The message is clear and consistent --
– Maintaining representative networks of natural
habitats – Protected Areas
– Eliminate threats to species
– Sustainable use of natural resources
– Access and benefit sharing
• But, the extent to which we are integrating
these efforts in broader landscapes
remains questionable
5. Agroforestry and Biodiversity
Conservation
• Agroforestry contributes to
biodiversity conservation through
three major pathways:
1. Reducing pressure on natural forests,
2. Providing habitat for native plant and animal
species, and
3. Serving as a benign matrix land use for
fragmented landscapes
Schroth et al. 2004
6. Fragmentation is deleterious
Loss of habitat results in:
– wildlife population
declines
– local “extinctions” --
particularly large
mammals
– Increased in
marginalized habitats
Miss Waldron’s Red Colobus, a
West African endemic believed to
be extinct across its range.
7. Fragmentation causes forest edges to recede
• Edge effects can be
pronounced by
“harshness” of the
matrix == >
– incidence of fires --
changes in biotic and
abiotic features
– exotic and invasive
species
• Receding edges lead
to increased
impoverishment of
the habitat interior
Gascon et al. 2000
8.
9. The Future of Biodiversity is in
Landscape-scale approaches
• Livelihood options for local people – top priority in
forest management and conservation
• Effective linkages between protected areas and
other land use practices – “beyond boundaries”
• Innovations in land use practices to create
alternative sources of income
• Opportunities to recognize and reward land use
innovations (e.g. payments for environmental
services)
• Participatory processes for integrated natural
resource management
10. Landscape-scale Conservation
• Integrating the
management of:
– Protected Areas
– Watersheds
– Degraded forests
– Farms and Plantations
• To accommodate:
– Species and habitat
conservation needs
– Ecological processes
– Effects of biophysical
changes such as climate
– Traditional or
subsistence livelihood
practices
11. The science and practice of agroforestry
embodies several conservation
principles that are amenable to
landscape approaches
12. Principle 1:
Maintaining genetic diversity of
exploited species through in situ
and ex situ conservation
13. Domestication of high value
indigenous trees
1. Product
development
2. Business

22. LIVE FENCES
Fencing is a major
cause of deforestation
in drier areas.
Live fences are
alternatives to
dead fences—limit
tree clearance—
and are sources of
Jatropha income .
28. Option 1
• Linking agroforestry
science to landscape
conservation planning
– targeting agroforestry
innovations for habitat
connectivity
– landscape reclamation or
restoration
– improving land productivity
and habitat quality for wild
species
Strategic alliances with mainstream conservation NGOs
29. Option 2
• Use of INRM approaches for defining
livelihood priorities and tree-based
options in conservation landscapes
– Tradeoff analysis in the forest margins (e.g.
ASB Matrix)
– Negotiation support systems for conflict
management
– Collective action for improved natural
resource management (e.g. Landcare)
30. Option 3
• Engaging conservation
biologists in the science
and practice of
agroforestry
– defining biodiversity targets
– analyzing metapopulation
dynamics
– mitigating impacts of climate
change
– types of trees, spatial
configurations of trees,
densities of trees
31. Option 4
• Expanding the range
of agroforestry options
offered to farmers to
enhance conservation
values
– enhance the use of
multiple species of
trees, especially
indigenous species,to
diversify production
landscapes
32. Option 5
• Harnessing and
maintaining complex
agroforestry systems for
biodiversity conservation
– rewards and incentive
mechanisms for poor
farmers engaged in
conservation-friendly
practices (e.g. shade
coffee, rubber
agroforests)
33. Option 6
• Promoting more
systematic studies of
species interactions
and ecological
processes in
agroforestry systems
– understanding the risks of
invasiveness for alien
tree species
– habitat use by wild
species, including
corridors
– watershed management
34. Option 7
• Integrating agroforestry into Conservation
Biology Curricula, with topics such as:
– Domestication of high value tree species
– Managing trees for improved landscapes
– Managing trees to mitigate the effects of biophysical
changes
– Integrating trees in landscapes to enhance
environmental services
– Assessing and rewarding environmental stewardship in
agroecosystems
– Value-adding for tree-based practices to create options
for improved livelihoods in conservation areas
35. Option 8
• Linking agroforestry science to global and
regional environmental policy process
– Millennium Ecosystem Assessment
endorsement – major achievement!
– CBD Programmes of Work on agricultural
biodiversity; Global Strategy for Plant
Conservation
– UNCCD – reversing land degradation in the
drylands
– UNFCCC – climate change adaptation and
mitigation; clean development mechanism
– NEPAD Environment Initiative
37. Emerging Science? (1)
• Are we putting agroforests or agroforestry
systems into landscape contexts?
– Value-adding options for linking “farms” at
landscape scale
– Restoration or recovery of degraded lands
– Optimizing land use practices for native
biodiversity (plants, animals)
– Optimizing land use practices to mitigate
alien invasives
– Climate change adapation
38. Emerging Science? (2)
• How does agroforests or agroforestry
systems influence landscape scale
patterns/processes and vice versa?
– Hydrological processes - watersheds
– Agroforestry “stepping stones” as biological
corridors
– Erosion control on slopes
– Climate change mitigation - Carbon
sequestration
Mainly SE Asia, some work in Western Kenya

40. Strategic Alliances
• ICRAF-CIFOR Biodiversity Platform
– Understanding tropical landscape mosaics to improve
livelihoods and conserve biodiversity
• ICRAF-CI Hotspots Alliance
– Science for climate change adaptation, habitat
recovery and sustainable livelihoods in tropical
hotspots and high biodiversity wilderness areas
