Summary
This wonderful book demonstrates how rural livelihoods - as well as diets health and ways of life - are enhanced by the so-called?neglected and underutilized plant species? which in the book?s Syrian case study include such deliciously interesting things as capers laurel jujube and figs. Using value chain analysis the author illuminates the opportunities for strengthening arid land economies with attention to such species while simultaneously maintaining the diversity and integrity of those plant genomes landscapes and cultures. And keeping the world worth tasting.? KEN WILSON EXECUTIVE DIRE
