How can Native Plants or Underutilized Crops be connected with Jobs? Through good Marketing and Value Chain Analysis.

I saw this today and thought I would send it to you all - see the article on p. 40, it combines nutritional analysis for underutilized crops with discussion of creating new value chains for those same less-popular food crops. Value Chains are simply the routes and steps that a product (here a farm product) takes as it moves to market. Occasionally, a new or unknown product needs people to create those sorts of links. The article connects Native Crops with the Income and Nutrition that poor communities need- I bet many of you would like to check it out.
