Citations in the corpus

• Agroforestry Tree Products (AFTPs): Targeting Poverty Reduction and Enhanced Livelihoods (2005, background): “This development is building on the actions of the smallholder farmers themselves, who have integrated fruit trees (often indigenous species) into the cocoa farm so that the shade trees are also companion crops (Leakey & Tchoundjeu, 2001).”
• Ecological, economic and social perspectives on cocoa production worldwide (2007, background): “The ecological and biodiversity benefits of diversifying cocoa farms with economically valuable tree species are not well known (Leakey and Tchoundjeu 2001).”
• Traditional cocoa-based agroforestry and forest species conservation in Ondo State, Nigeria (2007, background): “…were C. nitida, C. sinensis, M. indica, A. occidentale, P. guajava and P. americana, exotic tree species cultivated by farmers to provide edible fruits in addition to shade for cocoa, as also reported by Leakey and Tchoundjeu (2001), Duguma et al. (2001), Sonwa et al. (2001) and Asare (2006).”
• Ziziphus spina-christi (L.) Willd.: a multipurpose fruit tree (2008, background): “The ecological and economic benefits of diversity at the landscape-scale are considerably greater than the sum of the individual farm-scale benefits (Leakey and Tchoundjeu 2001).”
• Biodiversity conservation and agricultural sustainability: towards a new paradigm of ‘ecoagriculture’ landscapes (2008, background): “B (2008) much greater habitat value, especially if grown in mixtures and mosaics ( Jackson & Jackson 1999; Leakey & Tchoundjeu 2001).”
• DOMESTICATING INDIGENOUS FRUIT TREES AS A CONTRIBUTION TO POVERTY REDUCTION (2006, background): “with just US$ 20 for an unimproved one (Leakey and Tchoundjeu 2001).”
