Local Innovations Using Traditional Vegetables to Improve Soil Quality

Local Innovations Using Traditional Vegetables to Improve Soil Quality

Prior to the 1970s, parish farmers predominantly produced traditional vegetable crops for home consumption.

The vegetables that the rural African population produced for consumption as local foodstuff were considered traditional vegetables.
