• Agroforestry Tree Products (AFTPs): Targeting Poverty Reduction and Enhanced Livelihoods (2005, background): “…with the involvement of many stakeholders in the germplasm collections of Sesbania sesban for improved fallow technologies (Ndungu & Boland, 1994) and the principles extended to collections of Sclerocarya birrea and Uapaca kirkiana for fruit production (Leakey & Simons, 1998; Ndungu et al., 1995).”
• Insect pest problems in tropical agroforestry systems: Contributory factors and strategies for management (2000, background): “At ICRAF, emphasis is given for improving and promoting indigenous fruit trees and other high value trees to increase cash earnings for small-scale farmers in Africa (Leakey and Simons, 1998).”
• Predicting Invasive Plants: Prospects for a General Screening System Based on Current Regional Models (2000, unknown): “Some economically valuable non-invaders that are rejected by a screening system can probably be substituted with native species, which are often overlooked but may yield similar economic benefits (Butterfield and Fisher 1994; Haggar et al. 1998; Leakey and Simons 1998).”
• Domestication of Irvingia gabonensis: 2. The selection of multiple traits for potential cultivars from Cameroon and Nigeria. (2002, background): “Consequently, the International Centre for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF) and its partners have launched an Agroforestry Tree Domestication Programme (Leakey and Simons (1998)).”
• Evidence that subsistence farmers have domesticated indigenous fruits (Dacryodes edulis and Irvingia gabonensis) in Cameroon and Nigeria (2004, background): “ticate some of the indigenous fruit trees of different ecoregions of the tropics Leakey and Simons 1998 are starting now with wild, or virtually wild, genepools.”
