Food Plants of Solomon Islands

This is a joint project initiated under a Rotary International project called Learn/Grow.

Learn/Grow was originally developed by Buz Green of the Rotary Club of Devonport North, Tasmania, Australia - Rotary District 9830 and Bruce French of Food Plants International.

Learn/Grow helps people around the world identify nutritious food plants that are adapted to grow in the areas in which they live. It provides a variety of information designed to encourage sustainable farming practices and enhance food security by helping people select the right foods to grow in their home or community gardens.

This list is linked up to the species directory of Wikipedia, and as such is not an original work.
