Gender and trait preferences for banana cultivation and use in Sub-Saharan Africa: A literature review by Marimo, Pricilla, Caron, Cynthia, van den Bergh, Inge, Crichton, Rhiannon, Weltzien, Eva, Ortíz, Rodomiro, Tumuhimbise, Robooni

Varietal selection in marginal agroecological niches and cultural landscapes: the case of rice in the Togo Hills by Teeken, Béla, Temudo, M.P.

“…Despite these differences, farmers showed a broad interest and preference for different varieties based on different criteria, related to agroecological conditions, household consumption needs, market demands and/or ritual purposes.
