Growing knowledge on South Africa's wild plants

Abstract

Generations of South African families have reaped the benefits of traditional African vegetables. A ground-breaking multidisciplinary study initiated and funded by the Water Research Commission (WRC), in association with the Department of Agriculture, Forestry & Fisheries (DAFF), has provided scientific proof of their contribution to families’ health and nutrition while growing critical knowledge on their production for enhanced household food security. Article compiled by Lani van Vuuren.
