Summary
Shea trees provide vital food and income for 80m people throughout the Sudano-Sahel. However, unsustainable shea parkland management has reduced tree, pollinator and bird diversity, threatening long-term livelihoods. The project will research and pilot best management practices for optimum pollination, and inform sustainable shea production in Burkina Faso and beyond.
An innovative approach to agriculture in Madagascar enables communities to build climate-adaptive food systems while reducing pressure on biodiversity.
