Certainly not, because by reading this work you will discover that it is a marvelous tool at the service of agrarian societies, subtle enough to know how to use it wisely. Indeed, scientists and, through them, rural people, present the knowledge they have accumulated over the past decades and outline future paths for the study, management and extension of Sudanese and Sahelian agroforestry parks, where this tree remains irreplaceable.
