Fonio (Digitaria exilis and Digitaria iburua) in Nigeria: Regional cultivation patterns, landrace diversity, and farmer knowledge for conserving a climate‐resilient indigenous cereal

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Fonio (Digitaria exilis and Digitaria iburua) cereals are valued for their drought resilience, adaptability to poor soils, and cultural importance. In Nigeria, where both species are cultivated, fonio has declined due to labor‐intensive processing, lower yields, and changing livelihood choices. By documenting 21 landraces (15 D. exilis and 6 D. iburua),
