The potential of neglected and underutilized species for improving diets and nutrition
Bioversity International (Bioversity International)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/101896
Abstract
Why have our food systems come to rely on such a narrow range of plant species of limited nutritional value? Today three staple crops (rice, maize and wheat) account for more than 50% of calories consumed while we continue to disregard the huge diversity of nutrient-rich plant species utilized by humanity throughout our history.
