Abstract
This paper looks at the importance of gum arabic production in North Kordofan Province (Sudan), including the traditional cultivation of Acacia Senegal to maintain soil fertility, erosion control, and use as a fuelwood. Also the concept of traditional agro-forestry as an appropriate economic and ecological use is discussed.
