Book excerpt: "In 1535, the French explorer Jacques Cartier became stranded by the harsh Canadian winter. Over fifty of his men had died from scurvy, the lack of vitamin C, and the rest were weak. The native Iroquois saved the lives of Cartier and the remaining men with a simple tea made from a handful of leaves of the white cedar tree. The leaves of the vast pine forest that surrounded them contained far more vitamin C than the limes the explorers had on their ship. Few people die from vitamin C deficiency anymore. But, more than 600,000 children died last year from a lack of vitamin A. Iron deficiency anemia is one of the most common serious diseases in the world, eroding the lives of a billion people. Where can these people find the vitamin A and iron they need to regain their health? Now, nearly 500 years after Cartier, the answer can be found in the same place -- the green leaves growing all around us. Discover a new world of green leafy vegetables and find out how they can help build the food system we need for the 21st Century. Learn how to make green leaf vegetables more; nutritious, delicious, local, inexpensive, and sustainable."--Back cover.

Download or read book Production Technology of Underutilized Vegetable Crops written by Savita and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-20 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume discusses the nutraceutical importance, production technologies, management and cultivation practices of underutilized vegetables, which can be described as those vegetable crops which are neither grown commercially on a large scale nor traded widely. While much of the crops addressed in the book are cultivated, traded and consumed at the local level, there are over 60 species of minor vegetables with high growth and yield potentials that are not cultivated to a large extent for greater populations. This work highlights the production technologies needed to grow these vegetables on a larger scale and under various adverse soil and climatic conditions, and their nutritional and medical benefits to assist with food security, health and poverty alleviation in rural areas. Production of underutilized vegetables is low, due to the unavailability of planting material, lack of awareness about the nutritional and medicinal importance among the farmers and inadequate information on the production techniques of these crops. In this context, there is an urgent need to take up a program on genetic resources exploration, management, utilization, and improvement of underutilized vegetable crops to ensure food and nutritional security. Readers will learn about these technologies and practices, while also learning about the unique properties and benefits of these underutilized vegetables. The book will be useful for academicians and researchers focusing on vegetable production and breeding, as well as farmers and sustainability scientists looking for underexplored sources of nutrition to benefit large rural populations.
