READ BOOK CHAPTER

Gayle Volk, Colin Khoury, Stephanie Greene, Patrick Byrne The purpose of this chapter is to demonstrate that food crops do not necessarily originate where they are consumed. Food crops have been domesticated from their wild origins and have been transported worldwide. It also explains how crop wild relatives offer genetic diversity to genebanks and breeding programs.
