Edible Plants (B&W version): An inspirational guide to choosing and growing unusual edible plants - Tapa blanda

(Black and White Version) There are over 20,000 species of edible plants in the world yet fewer than 20 species now provide 90% of our food. However, there are hundreds of less well-known edible plants from all around the world that are both delicious and nutritious.It is our belief that plants can provide people with the majority of their needs, in a way that cares for the planet’s health. A wide range of plants can be grown to produce all our food needs and many other commodities, whilst also providing a diversity of habitats for our native flora and fauna.This book highlights some of the more unusual edible plants.
