1. Training materials for landscape diversification
Roeland Kindt
World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF)
VVOB (Flanders, Belgium)

2. Tree Seeds for Farmers “A toolkit and reference guide”
Provide information on sustainable production of seeds and seedlings of good quality
Agroforestry tree species
Wide range of actors in scaling-up agroforestry
Information needs of partner organisations
Quality of seeds and seedlings
Sustainability of seed systems
Team effort: A Aithal, J Beniest, S Carsan, W Frost, R Kindt, JPB Lillesø, A Mbora, S Moestrup, J Muriuki, L Mwaura, M Robbins, S Rao, J Roshetko, A Simons, C Wambugu

3. Complexity of seed systems
Various actors: NGOs, CBOs, GOs, research, private sector
Various species: indigenous, exotic, fodder, fruit, timber, fertility, medicine, …
Different targets: different types of farmers, ecological differences
Other stakeholders: development, biodiversity
Flow of seeds, seedlings and information

4. Existing information on tree seed
Information was developed for systems with centralised seed collection and distribution
Seed handling in laboratories
Extension messages on tree planting only
Information is often not available further upstream in dissemination

5. Toolkit
Accommodates for various types of seed systems (centralised/decentralised) (new)
Summarises existing information on seed collection and handling
Introduces methods of privatisation (new)
Three sessions based on these objectives:
Strategies (actors and roles within seed systems)
Technical guidelines (quality)
Private sector (sustainability)

6. Format of the toolkit Folder with printed information
CD-ROM with toolkit information and additional materials
Website with all materials
Online e-learning resource

13. Tree Diversity Analysis
Diversity of diversity analysis methods
Including slightly more sophisticated methods such as negative binomial GLM and GAM, GLMM, GEE, constrained ordination (RDA, CCA, CAP), Mantel and ANOSIM tests, accumulation of Rényi diversity profile, exact species accumulation
Data collected at particular sites (can be very large!)
Planning of diversification trials / monitoring of impact (scale, richness, evenness, composition) within TM5 (Enhanced utilisation of tree diversity at the landscape level )
