Description: Das Projekt "Domestikation und Weiterentwicklung von Baobab und Tamarinde - Work Package: Ethnobotanik und Ökologischer Landbau" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Universität für Bodenkultur Wien, Institut für Ökologischen Landbau durchgeführt. Both baobab and tamarind are plant species with high potential for arid and semi-arid areas in the developing world: they can provide food, medicine, wood and a number of secondary processed products for income generation that can help to meet basic needs of an increasing number of people in a context of decreasing land availability. The project aims at developing sustainable production systems of baobab and tamarind in four West-African countries based on characterisation, conservation and use of local genetic resources. This is expected to have a positive impact on food security and income generation in the countries included in the project. Issues of new crop/niche development are addressed through a holistic research approach and multidisciplinary research activities. The strategic overall objectives of the project that will be addressed are: evaluation and characterisation of germplasm collected in different ecological zones in Benin, Ghana, Mali and Senegal; eco-physiological characterisation of field and greenhouse-grown material; domestication of superior germplasm material; development of adapted cropping techniques; development of adapted plant material for introduction into (traditional and improved) agroforestry systems; evaluation of nutritional/medicinal composition of different plant parts; improvement of processing/transformation of the species products; and development of (inter-)national marketing strategy. The project combines activities of research, capacity building and transfer to bridge the gap between knowledge to successful application of the results by the end users. The work plan is divided into 6 work packages and a documentation and information dissemination work package.
