In most of Africa, traditional farms involve trees – a practice known as agroforestry. The trees provide many, many valuable products – edible fruits and edible leaves, spices and condiments, medicines, fodder and construction materials, helping to assure food and nutritional security and livelihoods throughout the year. They also perform many ecological services – pumping water and nutrients up from the soil depths to levels where crop and tree roots can access them, protecting and enriching soils, providing shade, habitat for wildlife and pollinators, conserving biodiversity, and sequestering carbon to keep it out of the atmosphere, so they help to combat global warming. This gallery profiles just a few of these invaluable agroforestry trees, with a special focus on the ones that nourish so many people on the continent and provide delicious foods for diverse and healthy diets.
