This book was released on 2001 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes an approach to assess locations and areal expenses that have potential for the production of bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea L. Verdc) across the world. The methodology was applied both to regions such as Africa, where the crop is widely cultivated but where experimental evidence is limited, and to new regions that have not previously been associated with bambara groundnut but where environmental factors are conductive for productive growth. A weather generator and a crop simulation model of bambara groundnut (BAMnut) were incorporated into a Geographical Information System (GIS) to predict, for the first time, bambara groundnut production for the world. BAMnut is a process-based model that uses physiological principles to describe the capture and use of environmental resources principally solar radiation and soil moisture. This mechanistic approach allows crop growth and yield to be predicted for regions beyond those used in the development of the model or regions where bambara groundnut is currently cultivated. The preliminary identification of potentially suitable areas for production, based on the agro-ecological requirements of the crop, serve as a useful prelude to detailed field investigations on bambara groundnut to identify appropriate management practices and may provide a basis for a similar assessment on many other underutilized crops.--Publisher's description.

Book Synopsis Lost Crops of Africa by : National Research Council
Download or read book Lost Crops of Africa written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-10-27 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is the second in a series of three evaluating underexploited African plant resources that could help broaden and secure Africa's food supply. The volume describes the characteristics of 18 little-known indigenous African vegetables (including tubers and legumes) that have potential as food- and cash-crops but are typically overlooked by scientists and policymakers and in the world at large. The book assesses the potential of each vegetable to help overcome malnutrition, boost food security, foster rural development, and create sustainable landcare in Africa. Each species is described in a separate chapter, based on information gathered from and verified by a pool of experts throughout the world. Volume I describes African grains and Volume III African fruits.

Book Synopsis Bambara groundnut: Utilization and Future Prospects by : Victoria A. Jideani
Download or read book Bambara groundnut: Utilization and Future Prospects written by Victoria A. Jideani and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-27 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bambara groundnut (BGN) or Vigna subterranea is an extremely hardy grain legume. As it produces reasonable yields even under conditions of drought and low soil fertility, it is also a climate-smart crop. Previously underutilized, BGN is the subject of growing interest among researchers and consumers for its balanced nutritional profile. Indigenous consumers of BGN report medicinal benefits from the plant; however, such knowledge is at risk of being lost with the urbanization and changing lifestyles of younger generations. To date, there is no comprehensive resource on the Bambara groundnut, despite market demand for plant proteins around the globe. Authored by scientists who have researched and developed patents using BGN, Bambara Groundnut: Utilization and Future Prospects aims to fill this gap. The text provides in-depth coverage on breeding, food and feed utilization, medicinal benefits and future research prospects. Drawing on both indigenous knowledge and cutting-edge research, Bambara Groundnut is the first book to fully explore the potential of this remarkable crop.
Book Synopsis Food and Potential Industrial Applications of Bambara Groundnut by : Samson A. Oyeyinka
Download or read book Food and Potential Industrial Applications of Bambara Groundnut written by Samson A. Oyeyinka and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-06 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea) is a crop native to the Bambara tribe of Mali and is grown as a subsistence crop in Africa. Recent advances in research, however, have brought the crop to the forefront of the sustainable agriculture movement. The Bambara plant is highly drought tolerant and rich in protein and carbohydrates, including starch. These macromolecules have enormous industrial potentials. For example, the starch in Bambara grain has been found to exhibit higher (double) viscosity than conventional corn starch. Modified Bambara groundnut starch has been used to produce edible bioplastics that could be upgraded industrially to suit the fourth industrial revolution shift. Bambara plants are also a natural source of soluble fiber, which is gluten-, lactose- and cholesterol-free, with potential as a stabiliser, thickener and gelling agent as well as a cryoprotectant in frozen products. The health benefits include lowering of cholesterol levels, levelling of blood glucose and as a detoxing aid. Furthermore, several researchers have explored the grain either alone or as composite with cereal and tubers for the development of value-added products. Food and Potential Industrial Applications of Bambara Groundnut presents in a clear, coherent way the research findings on Bambara grain and its status as a promising food and industrial crop.
Book Synopsis Ninth Revolution, The: Transforming Food Systems For Good by : Sayed Nader Azam-ali
Download or read book Ninth Revolution, The: Transforming Food Systems For Good written by Sayed Nader Azam-ali and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2021-06-18 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are at a critical point in human history and that of the planet. In this book, a world leader in agricultural research, Professor Sayed Azam-Ali, proposes a radical transformation of our agrifood system. He argues that agriculture must be understood as part of global biodiversity and that food systems have cultural, nutritional, and social values beyond market price alone. He describes the perilous risks of relying on just four staple crops for most of our food and the consequences of our current agrifood model on human and planetary health.In plain language for the wider public, students, researchers, and policy makers, Azam-Ali envisions the agrifood system as a global public good in which its practitioners include a new and different generation of farmers, its production systems link novel and traditional technologies, and its activities encompass landscapes, urban spaces, and controlled environments. The book concludes with a call to action in which diversification of species, systems, knowledge, cultures, and products all contribute to The Ninth Revolution that will transform food systems for good.Related Link(s)

Book Synopsis Bambara Groundnut,The Crop for New Millennium by : Nariman Ahmad
Download or read book Bambara Groundnut,The Crop for New Millennium written by Nariman Ahmad and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranean L. Verdc.) as one of the legume crops belongs to the Phaseoloid-Millettioid clade, which diverged some 45-50 million years ago from the Hologalegina clade. Due to the shortage growing period of Bambara groundnut it ranks the third most important food legume crop in semi-arid Africa in terms of production and consumption. It is highly drought tolerant and resists pest and disease. Bambara groundnut is a rich source of protein, contributing to alleviate nutritional problems in areas where staple foods are predominantly carbohydrate sources. Despite these potential of bambara groundnut it is inadequately characterized and neglected by research community. Employing new biotechnological tools such as DNA markers for mapping and identifying genes for desirable traits can accelerate the improvement of this crop genetically. This book covers the recent progress on genome research in bambara groundnut, including genetic map and QTL analysis using microsatellite and Diversity array technique markers. This will help breeders to effectively pyramid desirable genes into the cultivars in a much shorter time than would possible by conventional breeding.
