Description
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the agrodiversity in the traditional agrosystems of the Rif. The local varieties, marginal crops, neglected and ∖ or underused natural resources and the traditional knowledge were inventoried. This study is based on inquiries to farmers and grains storekeepers. The fruit varieties are remarkable in number so that arboriculture constitutes an essential element of the Rif agrosystems. These various crops are represented by local varieties, which are cultivated in well specified areas with limited exchanges among different regions. Fruit trees are harvested from natural areas. The protection of biodiversity can only be a result of persistence and the maintenance of this agricultural richness. Ecological damage and risks to agriculture such as introduction of selected varieties and the culture of cannabis can be avoided by e valuation and exploitation of this rich genetic heritage. © 2008 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
