Potentially Important Food Plants of Mali

This guide is based on information from the Food Plants International (FPI) database developed by Tasmanian agricultural scientist Bruce French.The source material and guidance for the preparation of the book has been made possible through the support of Food Plants International, the Rotary Clubs of District 9830, particularly the Rotary Club of Devonport North who founded Food Plant Solutions, (previously the LearnGrowproject), and many volunteers who have assisted in various ways.The selection of plants included in this guide has been developed byLyndie Kiteworking in a voluntary capacity using the selection criteria developed by Food Plant Solutions.These selection criteria focus on the local plants from each of the main food groups with the highest levels of nutrients important to human nutrition and alleviation of malnutrition.It is intended as a Draft Guide only to indicate some important food plants that serve as examples for this purpose.Other important nutritious plants may be equally useful, and it is recommended that the FPI database be used to source information on the full range of plants known to occur in Afghanistan.This guide has been developed with the best intention to create interest and improve understanding of the important local food plants of Afghanistan, and on the understanding that it will be further edited and augmented by local specialists with appropriate knowledge and understanding of local food plants.Food Plant Solutions was initiated by the Rotary Club of Devonport North to assist in creating awareness of the edible plantdatabase developed by Food Plants International, and its potential in addressing malnutrition and food security in any country of the world.In June 2007, Food Plant Solutions was established as a project of Rotary District 9830, the Rotary Club of Devonport North and Food Plants International.The primary objective of the project is to increase awareness and understanding of the vast food resource that exists in the form of local plants, well adapted to the prevailing conditions where they naturally occur, and how this resource may be used to address hunger, malnutrition and food security.For more information, visit the website www.foodplantsolutions.org.
