I firmly believe in the richness of the cultural diversity.

The goals of the Convention on Biological Diversity are the conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of the components of biological diversity, and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use of genetic resources.

The results of these projects are summarized in the two books African Biodiversity in Smallholder Farms of East Africa and Managing Agrodiversity the Traditional Way.
