| Research Abstract |
Aiming to clarify the factors which affect agricultural intensification consistent with plant genetic resources management by village communities in Africa, case studies of banana farming areas in East African highland : central Uganda, western Uganda and north-western Rwanda, were conducted. Comparison between the three areas illustrated the different patterns of development in their cultivation each other. It also revealed a common focus of further discussion for the issue, that is the stability of home garden management and the accumulation of skill or knowledge related to it.
