Shea trees have been for 3000 years probably the
most economically and culturally important tree species in Sudanian
agroforestry systems. This synthesis paper gathers and updates most of
the scattered knowledge on shea trees and parklands: socio-economic potential of shea production,
current means of enhancing shea domestication, tree impacts on
environmental resources and associated crop production. It concludes
with a proposal for a systemic and participative bio-economic modelling
approach in order to simulate intensification of shea parklands’
production.
