ICUC - Fruits for the Future
http://www.soton.ac.uk/~icuc/frufut1.htm
This effort by the International Centre for Underutilised Crops (ICUC)
is part of a three-year project to identify tropical fruit trees to
improve diet quality and fodder, fuel, timber and medicine for local
small-holders. The goal is to provide a nutritionally balanced food,
supplement family incomes and strengthen the local food supply. The
following species were selected for monographs: <i>Ziziphus
mauritiana</i> (Ber), <i>Tamarindus indica</i> (Tamarind),
<i>Dacryodes edulis</i> (African Pear), <i>Adansonia digitata</i>
(Baobab), and <i>Annona</i> species (Cherimoya, sweet and sour sops,
custard apples and other species). These works when completed will
summarize many of the plant biological characteristics of the species
and help to popularize their use. Much is literature based currently.
