The aims were to raise awareness of the importance of underutilized plant species for improving peoples’ livelihoods. Sixteen policy briefs/case studies are presented here and are based on a wide body of research conducted within and outside the CGIAR. These provide a historical context to the links between agriculture and health, deal with specific health conditions and agricultural systems, and examine the challenges to linking agriculture and health in policy." |
