Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quinoa has gained recognition world over as one of the most Functional foods for healthy human life. It provides most of the essential nutrients, gluten free protein, vitamins & minerals and considered as an excellent alternative food crop for India. It is an extra-ordinarily adaptable crop to different agro-ecological zones, highly suited to climate change, harsh environment and limited availability of resources. Currently, quinoa is in a process of expansion in non-domesticated countries and its cultivation is spreading rapidly due to its very high demand throughout the world. The subject matter is presented in this book in a comprehensive & lucid style and intended to provide scientific, authentic and very useful information on various aspects of quinoa development in India and abroad. Moreover, comparative nutritive values, role of vitamins, minerals & fatty acids in human body, manufacturers & suppliers of value-added products, role of different agencies in quinoa development in India and model project reports appended add the value. Thus, this book has enormous scope and opportunities to boost quinoa production, address food & health security problems, uplift Farm-output, promote food industries and generate employment and intended to assist Agri-business Planners, policy makers, Researchers, industrialists, teachers, students & farmers world over who are interested in quinoa-based enterprises for their livelihood.

Download or read book Viability of Seeds written by E.H. Roberts and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From prehistoric times man has had a pecial s relationship with seed plants - as a source of food, materials for tools, buildings, clothing and pharmaceuticals, and for ornamenting his surroundings for his own delight (probably in that chronological order which, incidentally, also gives some indication ofthe priorities oflife). Today man's most important staple foods are derived directly from seeds as they have been since neolithic times. (It is a sobering thought, as Harlan* has pointed out, that nothing significant has been added to his diet since then. ) From those times he must have learned to collect, conserve and cultivate seeds; and the accumulated experience has been handed down. This book then is part of an ancient tradition, for here we are still primarily concerned with these skills. Seeds are plant propagules comprised of embryos in which growth has been suspended, usually supplied with their own food reserves and protected by special covering layers. Typically they are relatively dry structures compared with other plant tissues and, in this condi tion) they are resistant to the ravages of time and their environment. But resistant is a relative tenn and seeds do deteriorate: the type, the extent and the rapidity of the deterioration, and the factors which control it are important to agronomists, horticulturalists, plant breeders, seedsmen, seed analysts, and those concerned with the conservation of genetic resources.
Download or read book Emerging Research in Alternative Crops written by Abdelaziz Hirich and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides case studies on cultivating alternative crops and presents new cropping systems in many regions of the world. It focusses on new emerging research topics aiming to study all aspects of adaptation under several stresses including agricultural, environmental, biological and socioeconomic issues. The book also provides operational and practical solutions for scientists, producers, technology developers and managers to succeed the cultivation of new alternative crops and, consequently, to achieve food security. Many regions in the world are suffering from water scarcity, soil and water salinization and climate change. These conditions make it difficult to achieve food security by cultivating conventional crops. A renaissance of interest for producing alternative crops under water scarcity and water salinization has been, therefore, implemented primarily among small-scale producers, researchers and academics. The use of alternative crops (quinoa, amaranth, legume crops, halophytes, ...etc.) may provide some environmental benefits such as valorization of salt-affected soils, reduced pesticide application, enhanced soil and water quality and promotion of wildlife diversity. This also may provide some economic benefits such as providing the opportunity for producers to take advantage of new markets and premium prices, spreading the economic risk and strengthening local economies and communities. Furthermore, alternative crops are often rich in proteins and minerals, and even some of them are Gluten free (quinoa). This reflects their importance to achieve food security in quantity and quality scale. The year 2013 was exceptional for alternative crops as it was the international year of quinoa celebrated by Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). This reflects the importance of research conducted on quinoa and other alternative crops in many regions of the world.
