The issues of biological and genetic diversity management in agroforestry are extremely complex. This paper






focuses on genetic diversity management and its implications for sustainable agroforestry systems in the tropics,






and presents an analysis of the role and importance of inter- and intra-specific diversity in agroforestry. Diversity






within and between tree species in traditional agroforestry systems and modern agroforestry technologies in the






tropics is assessed, with a view to understanding the functional elements within them and assessing the role and






place of diversity. The assessment shows that although the practice of agroforestry has been a diversity management






and conservation system, research in agroforestry over time has de-emphasized the diversity element; nevertheless






farmers do value diversity and do manage agroforestry from that perspective. Based on a profiling of various






traditional agroforestry systems and research-developed technologies, a strong case is made for increased speciesand






genetic diversity, at both inter- and intra-specific levels. The review and analysis point to the need for increased






awareness, training/education, partnerships and collaborative efforts in support of genetic diversity in agroforestry






systems; of special importance is increased cross-disciplinary research.
