dc.description.abstractBioversity International has been implementing a project in Kitui, Kenya which assesses farmers’ agrobiodiversity management practices. As part of this research, agrobiodiversity surveys were conducted in 16 villages spread over Kitui Central and Mwingi South districts of Eastern Province, Kenya. The poster provides a snapshot of the study site, agroecology, methodology, crop varieties and seed sources. Results show yields may not always be the main driver of selection; other factors include preparation of special traditional recipes, and cultural uses.en
