This book provides one of the most detailed and comprehensive
examinations of the Moroccan argan tree, the products derived from it
and its cultural significance. The Moroccan argan trade is booming,
but as the tree provides important ecological functions and plays an
important role, both financially and culturally, for the Amazigh
(Berber) people it has become a key topic of debate. This book
thoroughly examines the production stories, benefits and impacts and
provides a value-chain analysis which compares different cooperatives
and approaches to production. It assesses the fair-trade approaches
and attempts at sustainable production of the bio-trade resource.
While being a vital source of income, the argan tree has a significant
cultural importance to the Indigenous people and the book assesses the
impact of the argan trade on their well-being, community and
livelihoods. It examines Indigenous knowledge and intellectual
property issues relating to the trade, as well as Berber-state law and
politics. Assessing factors relating to legal and economic geography
international trade, socio-cultural and human-nature relationships,
the book provides a comprehensive analysis of the argan tree which
will appeal to students, scholars and practitioners.
