Abstract
Las especies forestales con fines alimenticios juegan un papel fundamental en la alimentacion de las poblaciones rurales del Africa subsahariana en periodos de carencia. Es importante conocer como es la relacion entre la gestion de estas especies y las caracteristicas socioeconomicas de la poblacion para poder establecer un modelo de gestion sostenible de estos recursos forestales que tenga presente a la poblacion local. Este estudio aborda este objetivo mediante la recogida de informacion directamente de los usuarios localizados en determinadas zonas del Norte de Benin, la cual ha sido analizada mediante analisis cluster y de correspondencias simple. El trabajo concluye indentificando las especies mas demandadas por la poblacion local afectodos por problemas de seguridad alimentaria. Food tree species play an essential role in feeding rural populations in sub-Saharan Africa during periods of scarcity. It is important to understand the relationship between the management of these species and the socioeconomic characteristics of the population consuming them in order to establish a model for sustainable management of these forest resources. The study addresses this goal by collecting information directly from users in a few selected study sites located in the northern part of the Benin. The information has been processed and analyzed by cluster and simple correspondence analysis. The paper identifies those species most demanded by the local population affected by high food insecurity.
