Abstract

We are talking about a crop that is virtually unimprovable – a crop that grows where not even weeds can survive; a crop that has been improved by farmers and through natural selection for thousands of years; a crop that produces nourishment fromthe poorest soils in the driest regions in the hottest climates; a crop that grows straight out of sand dunes; a crop that survives sand storms and flash floods” (ICRISAT 1996)...
