Klappentext
Scenes of starvation have drawn the world's attention to Africa's agricultural and environmental crisis. Some observers question whether this continent can ever hope to feed its growing population. Yet there is an overlooked food resource in sub-Saharan Africa that has vast potential: native food plants. Africa has more than 2,000 native grains and fruits--"lost" species due for rediscovery and exploitation. This volume focuses on native cereals, presenting information on where and how they are grown, harvested, and processed, their benefits and limitations as a food source, and the the futures of each grain.

Zusammenfassung
Focuses on native cereals in Africa, including African rice, finger millet, fonio, pearl millet, sorghum, tef, and other cultivated and wild grains. This book dispels myths, often based on Western bias, about the nutritional value, flavor, and yield of these African grains.
