The Field Food Crops Group also supports production of other crops, including minor cereals, in FAO member countries. For example:
The FAO-sponsored Working Group on Barley for Latin America strengthens collaboration between national research programmes of the region on malting barley as well as barley for human consumption
A regional workshop with ICRISAT and the West and Central Africa Sorghum Research Network on post-rainy season sorghum in the Sahel
AGPC assists in production of a wide range of field food crops in developing countries, through FAO's Field Programme, its Special Programme for Food Security and Telefood projects
In collaboration with Peruvian universities, FAO organized the first regional meeting on Andean crops, including quinoa, amaranth and lupine
In recent years, AGPC has produced publications on
production of pulses in Asia and the Pacific, tropical soybean improvement and production, underutilized grain legumes and pseudo-cereals in Asia, and the cultivation of amaranto and quinoa
