New monthly series launched on forgotten traditional crops


Rome, Italy
August 11, 2014

All over the world local varieties of fruit, vegetables and grain are grown. Many are seemingly forgotten or are underutilized despite having outstanding nutritional or taste qualities, or being suitable for those with food intolerances. Some could be an excellent cash crop for a smallscale or family farmer. In 2013, the Andean super grain quinoa became a sensation. Now, once a month for the next 12 months, FAO will highlight a traditional crop with a story to tell.
