Managing agrodiversity the traditional way

The PLEC group in Ghana was not only one of the project’s first clusters to be formed; it was beyond dispute the first to produce substantial outputs. By the end of 1994, the pioneer group in Legon had completed an important pilot study in south-eastern Ghana and held an international workshop to which they brought some of those who became the project’s first expert farmers. The product was brought together in the first book published from any part of PLEC (Gyasi and Uitto, 1997).
