Welcome once again to another issue of
AJFAND, this time a special issue devoted to African Leafy Vegetables. We present Vol. I which will soon be followed next month June by Vol. II on the same subject. These are research papers that were presented at a Bioversity (formally
International Plant Genetic Resource Institute, IPGRI) conference. The papers are based on research supported by Bioversity and have been peer reviewed in accordance with
AJFAND guidelines and standards.
Remember, African Leafy Vegetables are good for human health. Remember too, orange, yellow fleshed foods are good for you. For many of our resource-poor consumers, these constitute the main source of Vitamin A in form of beta carotene. What is even more encouraging is that these are mostly a women’s crop and so the resource-poor women can affordably provide good nutrition to their families, while they generate some income for themselves. I believe you will enjoy both this issue and the sister one that will follow.
