How to feed the poor

Bruce French - Food Plants International
Last night there were eight people at my talk on the UN.

Today I went sight seeing, then met Bruce French.
This amazing man who lives in Burnie has since the mid 1960s been making a database of the edible plants of the world. He lists their nutritional value and how best to cook them as well as how to grow them.

Bruce believes, as I do, that there is more than enough potential to feed everyone well in the world. To date he has catalogued around 25,000 edible plants. He can show many countries which local plants can be eaten along with the nutritional value.
