This flyer gives good insight into the value of mother tree maintenance for a specific rootstock, how it is maintained and used successfully in the field, how it contributes to the livelihoods and well-being of many rural households. The ‘Conservation and Sustainable Use of Cultivated and Wild Tropical Fruit Diversity: Promoting Sustainable Livelihoods, Food Security and Ecosystem Services’ project identified the efforts and role of these innovative nurserymen as a good practice of diversity management that is selected for further strengthening and scaling up within the community and elsewhere.
