description |
Vegeculture, tropical food production based on vegetatively propagated energy
crops, probably emerged before agriculture based on cereals and grains. The
tropical root and tuber crops (cassava, sweet potato, yams and aroids) are
among the oldest on earth. In many areas, especially in the wet tropics, they
were the only staples and fed extensive populations before the introduction of
cereals. Today, they represent the second most important set of food crops in
developing countries, closely following the cereals. They are produced with low
inputs but are an important source of income and employment in marginal
areas, especially for women. Consumed mostly by the poorest, they contribute
greatly to food security and are held in high esteem culturally. They are also
cash crops and are used for animal feed or as raw material for industrial
processing. |
