These “forgotten” food crops could go a long way toward addressing hunger and malnutrition. Danielle Nierenberg's challenge for Food Tankers around the world: Bring agrobiodiversity into your kitchen by cooking with an ingredient you’ve never used before! Even if you can’t find these specific crops, maybe your local stores carry a vegetable you’ve never bought or grains like fonio or millet. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/egy8E9Rm
And...flour corn!! Ask me about nixtimalization for the most amazing tortillas one could imagine :-)
Nothing good that should have been done in our state of Himachal Pradesh, India, in respect of development of Horticulture is being doneI for the welfare of farmers & in the interest of our farming community. Can’t do anything, it’s an era of sycophants, those having their personal vested interests & serving in the state Department of Horticulture, H.P. farmers of the state of Himachal Pradesh & India are of no considerations. We need to move ahead on the lines China is heading for, I am talking of horticulture development. Certainly, in every field, in the years to come (5 or 6), the Republic of China will be at the top of works & govern the globe. Very sorry state on the part of our State Government as well as that of our Union Government. Both the Governments lack in vision.
Diversity is key however, eating what grows locally is more important.
Mmm... maybe if we can get our hands on some of these, we can make them "trendy." Would be cool if we could use the kitchen at HULL HOUSE. I did my Ethnography notes there in grad school. That could work. Hit my LinkedIn if you're interested. Share with any interested parties if you want 🤗
